I would say Eibach, and other's would say H&R... People bash on Eibach beacuse of there so called "rake" look.. I love em, and been using them for a while now, never experienced (is that how you spell it?) H&R or switched to.. I know for a fact that there are some members here that are running H&R springs (Kidcoastal, I believe) and can chime in and talk about H&R..

i have a base 300 so the drop is 1.8 F+R. hopefully it provides an even drop. actually when i measured my ride height right now in terms of fingers in the wheelwell, i can fit 4 fingers easy in the front but only 3 fingers in the rear. i wonder if this is due to my box in the back. i have a 15" JL sub and JL 500/1 in the back, but they don't really weigh all that much. (50 LBS tops, if that) i'll post some pics after the drop, hopefully i'll have my digi-cam by then too.

^^^ do some searches about "eibach springs" and the uneven drop and you'll end up deciding on the H&R's. (at least i think you will)

300CwannaB I actually decided to go with Eibach. Here are my personal reasons.
My friend put the H&R's on and it looks AWESOME! IMO it looks better than eibachs. However, we had to take my C golfing b/c too many of us guys on the golf trip makes his car rub badly on the freeway humps.
I know I wont have that problem with the eibachs. That rake will actually save my tires.
AGAIN.... all my personal opinion as well as thougts on the matter.
it's still my opinion that the H&R looks better.
for what its worth.

I am seriously considering the coil over kit that has been mentioned briefly:

www.kwsuspensions.com

These guys build the systems that are sold through Mopar parts for the Neon and PT Cruiser

they are preparing a set sale for the 300C by the summer I was told when I phoned the company.

I understand it's considerably more money then just going with lowering springs, but I believe the overall ride will be much improved

I like the fact that I can adjust the ride height exactly where I want it as well.

I'll keep you posted when I get them installed.
