I want to lower my MAX, but i still want a reasonnably confortable ride.
Wich of these two kits is better for my application?

Ive been told that the Eibach are harder, but better in cornering, and that the H&R are more comfy but less sporty.
Also one person told me that H&R are calibrated for European models...
Thaks in advance for your inputs.

That article is for the BMW and i feel that it does not accurately protray the maxima...it comes to the conclusion that the H&R's are stiffer than the Eibachs..but the general concensous here is the opposite.

eibachs

I have eibachs and tokicos... very different ride, and somewhat annoying if driving on really bad streets, but otherwise, not bad at all, and very rewarding in the corners, and just driving in general... great feel of the road. personally, i preferred the eibachs when purchasing, because HR's are lower and less tight... basically saying to me, more for looks, less for performance. I don't like hammered,, just wanted performance, with a reasonable look.

I agree with danielbu...I have the Eibach/Tokico combination as well. The ride is definitely harhser but worth the tradeoff in better cornering and handling and reduced fendergap.
