Default h&r OE or eibach pro-kit?

I want to upgrade the stock suspension on my daily driven gsr. Which of the two do you think will be the best all around for performance and daily use. Thanks.

I say H&R OE.

I have prokit and they're okay, but the drop looks uneven and the
rear rates are too soft.

H&R OE looks like what the car "should have" came with from the factory.

i dont think you should get either of them....get some hr sports....it's a great daily driver...comfortable plus aggressive drop.....to meh it's a even drop...i can still go over speed bumper at 15mph......no body kit..no rice

i USE THE H&R OE springs, they ride nice, but its not much of a drop. I believe its .75" all around drop.

Living in NYC, cant really go low, as our streets are all f'd up!!

My current rims are 16 x 7 Rota Slipstreams (+45 offset) with Yokohama Parada Spec 2 (205/45/16).

The ride height seems to settle if you just leave the rims on the car, but if you take them off and put them back on the ride height seems to be a bit higher for a while (compare track pic with the first pic i posted). Not sure if this is just in my mind but it sure seems that way.

The Koni Sport damers allow further height adjustment through additional perch settings on the shock body.

Just my .02, I didn't really like the drop on the Pro-Kit. I wanted more of a drop and went with some coilovers. Good springs though.

Based on the pics posted above, I like the drop. Its low enough to give it a factory performance look. What are the spring rates on the OE springs? And how do they compare to the pro-kit and hr sports (sorry if I am asking questions that have been answered in the past)? Thanks, I really appreciate your help.
