h&r sport or eibach pro ??????
If I wanted to keep my stock shocks as long as possible should I get the h&r sport or the eibach pro springs ? They are pretty much the same price.
Thanks |

eibach pro hands down, though theres some running H&R with stockies, its not really recommended and prolly wont last as long, due to the spring rate. eibach pro' has about the same rate as the stock springs. (pro kits are VW drivers gear option for the stock shocks and struts)

H&R sports are just as marshmellowy as eibach's pro kit but look better. they are noticeably lower but not so low as to cause issue's with stock shocks. besides the decline of stock shocks with those type of springs is so gradual you'll never notice anyway until you replace them or wake up one day two years later and wonder what happened to the ride. you'll probably either like it and live with it a long time or think it sucks right away.

I heard that some of eibach springs make noises, do the h&r springs do it to?

Springs make noise if they are not installed properly (ie. the spring is rotating on its base while car is turning). Also no noticible rake with the Eibachs, slight rake with H&Rs.
