Most members on the forum go with the Eibach spring. The ride and comfort is the same as oem but it hides the ugly fender gap. I suggest going with the eibach cause I once had it myself.

It really depends on how low you want to be too. The eibach isn't that low of a drop and is just to hide the gap. The HnR are really low thought. If you want I can find pictures for you of comparison of the eibach and the HnR.

The SPC Camber kit isn't really needed for eibach cause most people are lucky enough to get back into factory spec with the eibach because the drop isn't as aggressive. You will definately need it though with the HnR.

this is LightningG37's car and I hope he doesn't mind me using his pictures. He changed from H&R to Eibach because with the H&R he was rubbing and also scrape his bumper

Eibachs for the most popular drop height. Search for pics because everyone wants different things. Some lower, some more moderate.

Has anyone had any problems as far as warranty is concerned with lowering or the Eibach springs specifically since the drop is not too much>?>?

your warranty will not be void unless it is because of the springs. Your suspension warranty will be probably voided but nothing else. If you bring your car in for like a a/c problem, they cannot void it unless they can prove your springs cause the A/c to mess up.

eibachs if you want a nice drop to hide the fender gap and keep stock ride quality. HnR if you want to be slammed with what I heard is crap ride quality.

If you need a camber, I gottttttchuuuu

I wouldnt really consider eibachs a drop...I have Tien S-Techs i love em but the rear sits lower than the front. HnR's are lower than Tien S-Techs. Gl on whatever you decide.

I'd buy it so it's there if you need it (don't want to rip the car all apart again), and send it back if you don't end up using/needing it.
