which would be better with stock shocks. i dont want the ride to be too hard or too soft. ive heard eibach is soft and h&r is good for daily driving. i want a good enough drop to look nice but not too low because it is my daily driver and i live in a mountainous area. i havent heard any reviews on hotchkis. i appreciate the help.
thx

Eibach Pro Kit. Haven't heard many positives about H&R, and Hotchkis' rear drop is too low, plus their spring rates are pretty high for using the stock struts with.

doesn't matter what springs you use, eventually you will need to replace your stock shocks. if you can afford it, get it all done at once to save on the installation and alignment.
btw my h&r lasted about 8 months on stock shocks before having to put in kyb agx.

^^ i read that u drive in horrible conditions so i believe thats ur problem with wearing out ur shocks in 8 months. the reason y i wanted to kno between h&r and eibach is because of the drive. people give me mixed reviews on both the springs, and they seem to be good for daily driving and on the stock shocks. i have heard that h&r tend to be stiffer so its better for the turns, and eibach is soft for the long drives. either way i still dont kno which one to purchase yet. h&r tends to be cheaper too

imo, i love my h&r springs. i have the stock shocks on them, but will be getting aftermarket ones very soon. but so far, it has perfect stiffness for those turns and smooth on the freeway.
