Eibachs or H&Rs?

I currently have B+G springs with a 1.6", however, the back sags a lot ( i have a sytem in the trunk too). I want a more comfortable drop, not too low so that I don't detroy a stillen lip, and still minimize the wheel gap. Which is better? Any pics would also be helpful. I'm leaning more towards the H&R since I hear its comfortable, but it seems like it doesn't give much of a drop. Are eibachs really that stiff? This is a daily driver.

If you want to protect your lip, go with H&Rs.

Eibachs are good for dropping the car when it comes to looks, but when it comes to driving they are pretty rough and agressive.

Eibach is a really nice spring. I am planning on swapping to those if I keep this spring/strut setup over the summer.

I meant that they provide a good drop and that they aren't as comfortable as H&Rs.

I basically don't want a bouncy ride and I don't wanna fly out the seat if i hit a bump. They will be paired with KYB AGX.

What about H&R's vs. Progress? I've read several places that Progress springs are pretty comfy and have a nice look. How does their "comfy ride" compare to H&R's?

I have Eibachs/KYB AGX and I think the ride is great. I dont think it is stiff at all but then again I havent been in someone's ride who has H&R so I cant compare. All and all I love the way it looks, handles, and rides.
