I think most people here have Eibach, so i'm going to have to guess Eibach...

Default With that logic, more people own GMs and Fords than Audi or Mercedes.

Both H&R and Eibach are quality spring makers. H&R's are made in Germany exclusively, while Eibach's are made in Germany and some limited production in the US. Each maker has obvious variances and differences from vehicle model to model, but overall they're both very good quality manufacturers who make springs to German TUV standards for the most part.

You won't find much difference in the quality of the spring between those two or even with Vogtland and Neuspeed for that matter. Also both made in Germany.

Both are good. Depends on how low you want to go.

Default wrong. The logic was... most people here are smart... since most people went with the Eibachs, even

though they're similarly priced, I trust the opinions of Schwing, Meem, Bipes, etc... so... there you have it.

Default I think that only the old ones had issues....

I seem to recall someone posting awhile back that H&R was on revision 5 of their TT spring design, and the newest version should not have "issues."
