Should I swap Sprint Spring to Eibach ? ?

I am getting sick of driving with Sprint Spring since the front's clearance is really low. Is Eibach really good with KYB AGX ? Any one has experience with both spring ?

Well I have the Eibach/GR2 combo, and its great. I'm running 15" stockers (unfortunately) but it'll be a good drop/ride when i get my 2k2 SE's. I haven't driven sprints, but I recommend Eibach

I switched from sprints to Eibachs. I liked the Eibachs much better. Now I have H&Rs, and I like them the most.

It all depends on what you are looking for. Clearance is no problem when you grew up knowing how to get a lowered car up a steep driveway without scraping. It's all about the angle....

All the info you will ever need about both springs:

With my experience, the H&Rs drop just as much as Eibachs, I've had chances to compare them side by side. Unless lately the new batches of H&Rs somehow came out different than the old ones. Then again, lower isn't always better. If you go too low you're almost sitting on your bumpstops which is bad for handling, also may give you increased wear on your CV joints, as other members with Sprints have had.
