I have to admit, Eibachs have a bigger gap in the front due to the larger wheel arch and H&Rs drop the front much lower than the rear. Neither Brand "looks" even.

I'm actually leaning toward Eibach but just wanted to know about Tanabe.

-Thanks
If you think the Eibach looks uneven, don't even consider the tanabe's they are definitely lower in the back, and much moreso than the Eibachs. I was seriously considering the tanabes, but just couldn't live with it being that uneven knowing how much i'd spend to get it there, so I spent another 100 dollars, went eibach, and couldn't be happier - looks great... rides even better!

Thanks for the info Pie-rat.

As I said I'll probably get the Eibachs.

Maybe on an 05, but the H&R's fit differently on the 07+.....

Same part number, but our cars are heavier in the front end, causing it to sag a bit.

yeah I'm sure that some people have had H&R's on the 07+ G for around a year and a half, but I'd be concerned about the life of the springs considering they weren't engineered specifically for this car... they already sit pretty low... they might sag even further in time.

i have the Eibach pro-kit installed and it sits great... tucks my 19 in rims perfectly... sometimes i think i shouldve gotten 20's but i wanted to balance aesthetics and sportiness...

anyways great stability, i think even better than how it was stock
