Well now you have me interested in the H&R. What's the base msrp on those?

Do you know how much it drops? Is it much more even than Eibachs?

Best place to get them installed?( Don't want to try it on my own.)

From what I understand, if you can do a basic brake job, you can probably install these yourself. I haven't seen them for less than $200, but from what I gather the drop is about the same, but higher quality materials - and an even drop. Somebody suggested Tire Rack, and believe it or not, I think they had the cheapest prices that I found. Some people swear by Eibach, but with something this important do you really want to go the cheaper route and regret it later?

Any shop can install these easily. A shop is going to charge you book time at a labor rate around 90$ per hour. Im guessing 200 bucks or more to install the springs. But they are sooo simple. If you dont want to take the risk with the front struts, you could always take the struts to a shop and they should be able to swap the springs out for 20$ or some fair price less than 50. Let me know if you are intereseted and I can walk you through all the steps. I got my springs on sale, just keep an eye out for sales on tire rack. they are usually the cheapest and the shipping is like 2-3 days. .

The claimed lowering amounts are

Eibach f-1.4" r- 1.2"
H&R f-1.5" r-1.2"

Although I noticed my friends coupe with eibachs has sagged in the rear a bit, making the car look weird. Tire rack is currently listing H&R for 295. Dont pay that much considering I got mine for 120. Just wait, Im sure the holiday sales will reduce the prices.

Are Eibach's installed in the front and rear of your car in the sig pic? Looks like only the front is lowered???
