does anyone have any opinions on either brand? The H&Rs seem a little stiffer and more adjustable? For a 325i Sport.

Cheers,
Gus

Both work great, the H&R front is a bit harder to install due to the size/stiffness of the front bushes, where the Eibach seemed to go on a lot easier( both were new kits, my own experience). The H&R is a mil or two fatter and slightly more squarely shaped on the corners, less suited to wide front rims. Also If at all possible it does help if you have your front subframe ARB mounting points strenthend as an uprated ARB can cause them to bend or fail. If i remember correctly both are 3 way adjustable on the front and the Eibach 3 way rear but the H&R only 2 way rear. If you are buying new the Eibach come with a new rear droplink kit and rear bush clamps too.

I've had both H&R and Eibach roll bars fitted to my sport and there is virtually nothing in it.

As said, both are 3 way adjustable on the front and the H&R are two way, eibach 3 way on the rear.

I have the eibachs and from what I can remember, two of the positions on the eibach rear are the same as the H&R, but the third is a harder setting which is just a blank on the H&R which you could theoretically drill out (although you would be better buying the Eibach in the first place).

I have Mtech springs, Bilstein B8 dampers and eibachs (medium setting on the front and softest on the rear) and it handles lovely :D

Perfect! I'll be running the same minus the B8's (newish mtech shocks till I kill them) once the Eibach's arrive. Can't wait!
