Whilst searching for some comparisons between the H&R springs and Eibach Pro, without just having someone tell you that Coilovers are the way to go...

I can across this (link below), it is based on them being fitted and tested on a BMW, but three identical cars all tested against stock set ups.

Shows the H&R and Eibach springs to be very close, where I had read reviews of people suggesting the H&R are just rock solid and will be horrible, and the Eibach are the way to go but don't really lower the car very much.

Anyway, worth having a read if you are looking or interested:

Having run both springs on a multitude of cars I'd say that review was pretty much correct.
Both are decent but have their own merits.
Eibach are slightly more comfortable and the H&R handled better when pushed.

Well I've opted for the H&R 35mm springs from DPM so will up a write up together on them when they are fitted and bedded in.
