Another spring question

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I never found out which of two springs give you a softer ride; B&G or H&R.

Thanks

I'd say the H&R's, but then again I never had them. They are probably very close, with the B+G's maybe a little harsher due to the lower drop. I think the main harshness comes from the shocks/struts, which in most cases are KYB AGX.

From a personal standpoint, B&G and AGX is a decent combo. A softer combo would be B&G or H&R with KYB GR2 struts. AGXs at their softest setting is stiffer than GR2s.

I like the ride of the B&G and AGX, however, I think I should have cut my bumpstops. Potholes and large cracks seem to hurt more than they should. But on normal roads and highways, its smooth sailing.

I'm on KYB's and B+G springs. On nice highways the ride is pretty smooth. When the roads get bad, the ride does too. It's tight!

H&R's are probably the smoothest (softest) spring out there for our cars.

H&R's with either Tokico Blues or KYB GR2 struts and shocks will give you the best ride.

KYB AGX adjustable struts and shocks will firm things up even more for awsome handling and still maintain a descent ride.

How come there's no mention of the Eibach Pro kit for springs, along with the KYB AGX?

I read somewhere on here yesterday that KYB actually recomends the Eibach Pro kit for use with their AGX struts/shocks. Not sure how valid that info was......

Ok so I guess the answer to my question is the H&R springs would give me a softer ride then B&Gs...
