Eibach versus H&R springs

I will eventually get coilovers but for now I will settle for just springs. Out of the 2 springs which rides better? Are they hard to install? Any special tools required? Does the ront end need religned? Thanks

They will have to take the struts out of the car.

ANy time you alter the suspension , you should get an alignment done.

not on a mini but my 93 Celica I ran Eibach then removed them for H&R. The Eibachs were a rough ride and too stiff for normal driving. The H&R are a great balance of both control and pleasant ride.

H&R has NEVER done us wrong. I have used Eibach in the past and then used H&R on the same car, and I prefer the ride of the H&R. BOTH are good quality, but the H&R always seems to ride better.
