Question Eibach or H&R? comments please

Hello guys,

I need your opinion on lowering springs... I just got a set of 19 on my car and wanted to lower it to reduce the fender and tire gap... Eibach or H&R is what i am considering... rides?, too much negitive camber? or any comments if you have either of them...Thanks..

I think your better off with the eibach. But you will need to fix your camber, with any springs you get..

I have eibachs. I had some negative camber issues. I got it aligned. Rear right was pulled within spec. Left rear didn't get pulled to within spec but was close enough. The fronts were fine. The bounce is diminished.

To be on the safe side go with a alignment kit.

Although I don't have H&R on 350Z, from my previous experience with my other cars, H&R is better than Eibach. For most of Cars H&R used progressive springs for all 4 corners, but Eibach only used prgressive springs for the rears. Plus usually H&R drop the front a bit more than the rear, which give more aggressive looks, and elminate the the problem that "rears looks lower than the front" problems on some applications that eibach has. My friend's WRX used Eibach springs and his rear looks lower than the front, eventhough the actual drops are the same for all four corners.

Most people used Eibach is cuz many stores don't carry H&R (cuz most of time you need to wait for it to ship from Germany, unlike most of Eibach springs are made in US) not to mentioned because Eibach has bigger name.
