I guess Carparts.com sent me both...

I paid $ 210 for shipping+tax total for eibachs
and $ 231 for shipping+ tax total for H&R

I have to return one- so which one is best guys?

You care for performance or ride quality? Eibachs will be a kidney bruiser, but will give you better handling than the H&R's. H&R's will give you a lower drop. So which do you want?

I've never experienced an H&R ride, so can't comment on my behalf... but many others have said H&R is closer to the stock ride. I'm sure you can ask for an opinion from one of the 4th gen people with experience in both springs.

I think the H&R's are actually less drop 1.4 front and 1.3 back and Eibach is 1.5 and 1.4 respectively. Not a big thing but I think it just comes down to ride comfort (H&R) or better handling (Eibachs). OH and 20$ bucks difference...

Acutally it's not that close to stock.. it's a firmer ride for sure... it's more stock like in the sense that the ride is smoother... not as hard.
