Default H and R vs. Eibach

Do any of you have H and R springs? I'm considering getting them instead of eibachs. Are they stiffer? I tried a search but couldn't find anything on them.
What do you think?

I don't really want the H and R becuase they are1.5" rather than 1", but if they will help my car handle better and ride better than the eibachs then I would rather get them.

I had H&R before, if you are talking about performance, then H&R is the spring to get. The reason is 1.) Most of H&R's springs are progressive for all four corners. Eibach usually only have progressive springs for rears. Progressive springs are better for performance, cuz their spring rates varies depend on driving conditions.

2.) Most H&R is made in Germany. Most of Eibach springs sold in the US are not made in Germany, unless it's for German cars.

I'm interested in the difference too. Are there other upgrades required/suggested with getting new springs?

H&R all the way. Best progressive rate springs available IMO.

rule of the thumb:

if you get performance spring, then change the shock to high performance shock also. Stock shock can't match the stiffer spring rate of true high perfromance spring like the one from H&R or Eibach.

I have a set of H&R Springs for sale. They are really nice, I would rate 9.5/10. The H&R springs are softer than the eibach. PM me if interested.
