Eibach Sportlines or H&R Sport Springs *Edit* Went with Eibach Coil Overs

I want a 2" drop and can't decide between the Eibach Sportlines and H&R sport kit for my 06 Hemi C. I will be running 22x9 and 22x10" wheels with 265's in the front and 285's or 295's in the back. It would be nice to get rid of the rake the car has from the factory. Does anyone have any experience with either springs/wheel & tire combo? Or any pics for reference?

Eibachs have a rake; H&Rs don't.

I ordered the Sportlines, I have owned several cars with Eibachs and always had good results. If anyone has pics of them installed please share!

I have an '06 300C as well. I just got home from getting the H&R sport springs installed. I also have 22x9.5 rims and running 265's all around. I must say the H&R's truly got rid of the rake. The shop that installed mine said these were the first set of H&R's they installed on a 300C, they've been doing all eibach's up till mine. H&R says it lowers the front 2" and the rear 1.8". It does look real low and more aggressive looking than the eibachs. On the drive home I didn't notice any rubbing issues thus far. I too wanted to get rid of the rake and I'm really happy with the way the H&R's turned out. It's been raining like crazy here, I'll try to post some pics as soon as the weather gets better.

How do the Eibachs have a rake when its 2" all the way around and the H&R's are 2 front and 1.8" rear. You would think its the other way around.

I've never owned eibachs springs so I couldn't tell you how the ride compares to them. I went from stock springs to the H&R's. The short time I've had them, I can say they ride very well, reduced body roll and obviously due to the lower center of gravity, handles much better as well. As for the Eibach Sportlines go, I think it's really up to the manufacturers on the numbers they quote on how many inches they lower. The H&R's that I have on mine have barely a one finger gap at most front and back. So it's hard for me to believe the Sportlines would be any lower in the back. As far as the rake goes, don't know what to tell you, I gotta think that between the H&R's and the sportlines they gotta sit pretty similar, but I haven't seen the sportlines in person yet, just pics.
