Depends on what car they are for if for a touring i would go with eibach as they are cheaper by about £120 than H&R's offering but for a saloon there is no real price difference and they both offer the same sort of peformance too

Yes it is a touring they will be going on, but can anybody recommend the cheapest place to buy these springs?

Considering I only payed £380 for the touring they will b fitted to!

Its been posted on here many time before the cab springs do the same job as the cab weighs around the same at the rear as a touring

Demon Tweeks had Eibachs at a good price.
It is also worth checking some US suppliers as they offer a good price even with postage.
Keep an eye on eBay as you might be able to secure a good second hand set.
