Default H&R Race Springs vs Eibach Road Race Springs?

I'm debating on these 2. I will be mating these springs to Koni Red shocks/struts. Which will be a better mate for these struts in terms of handling and road feel? I do want it to be a bit stiff...like REALLY stiff. I'm not concearned with being too stiff for road feel. I know I'll need a camber kit for the front and rear and also wanted to ask which camber kit is good for this setup. I've heard great things on Ingalls and looked at their lineup, but which should I get specifically for this setup. This is all going on a sedan and I really don't need to change the camber +/- because I doubt I'll be doing any sort of road racing or auto-xing...I know it sounds n00b, but want to get the best suspension setup possible. Thanks.

I drove a friend's EG with Tokico's and H&R Race Springs, I drove it around the block and it felt like there was NO springs, I hated it. So if you want harsh and hard/stiff, I'd suggest that.

So they were TOOO stiff? Any side effects of being to stiff...like body parts falling off? How about camber kits...Skunk for the front and longer bolts/washers for rear? Any input appreciated...thanks.

For camber I would suggest either Ingalls or what I have "Eibach full front camber kit". I like it alot bro :thumbup: Did a great job of correct my horrid camber problem in the front. The only down sides for me were the price(I got kind of taken) and the fact that the kit did not come with bushings so we had to press out the old ones, which thankfully worked out quite well.

Skunk/other kits are probibly just as good or better but I know what I've read and researched and I say these are both good quality kits

Koni makes a wicked strut :thumbup:

Springs:

Neuspeed, H&R, Eibach...etc <<All good quality.

Do some research on the net and read some reviews on what people have/like. This will be a good step to take in order to solve your dilemma homy

Werd up playa'...just hard to find reviews on them. Most people have Pro Kit or Sports...not too many run Road Race or H&R Race...unless they're keeping it shady...

I thought the road race kit wasn't being made anymore.

Go for Neuspeed Race, I ran them in my hatch. Stiffer then H&Rs, I called the two companies becauseI thought about changing mine out, I didn't.

i heard that eibach road race springs arent streetable (too low, stiff to drive around). anyways, koni red wont be able to dampen the high spring rates u want.

I see I see. SO, in other terms...

Koni Yellow

and

Neuspeed Race

I was also going to go with Skunk front camber correction kit and the longer bolt/washer/shim trick in the rear...will work with this setup? Thanks for the input.
