Default Eibach Sportlines vs. H&R Sports - Let's hear your opinion! (Pics encouraged)

I currently have Eibach sportlines on my car. The rears look great:



However, the fronts look like ***:



Turns out they're INTEGRA springs. I am SOOO pissed.

Now, I have an opportunity to buy some civic sportlines used for 115 shipped. Should I go that route, or should I buy some new H&R Sports for 155 shipped?

Anyone who has pics of their 92-95, but preferably 96-00 civic dropped on either H&R Sports, or Sportlines PLEASE POST THEM. I would REALLY appreciate it.

Which one has a more even looking drop? I hear Eibachs sit higher in the fronts, but I'm not sure if that's just for the integra & Si springs or all of them. This is for a daily driver BTW.

I had Eibach Sportlines on my 99 Nissan Sentra and I hated them. Too much of a drop and too soft.

My friend had them on his 2000 Ford Focus and the same thing applies.

I currently have the H&R sport kit on my 98 EX. I love 'em. I've had them on since July and not problems. Now to replace those blown stock shocks …

damn that makes sense now, since all integras with sportlines that I have seen do sit high up front. Sorry to hear that man.

I think the H&R ride like **** on civics. That's my opinion.

My favorite springs are Eibachs for civics.

OT sorry...i bought a set of arospeed coilovers for $150 (i really dont like to spend money...i'm surprised i actually bought them) and they ride REALLY well suprisingly...i guess i really dont have anything to compare it to...but its really smooth and the wheel gap is right where i want it

to springs

i absolutely love my h&r sports on my civic. i run them with neuspeed/koni yellows and think the ride is terrific.




edit: i think the eibachs give the front and back the same drop, where as all h&r springs drop the front slightly more than the rear. i have my rear shocks on the second to lowest perch in the rear to reduce the rake slightly.
