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 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.

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.

I went with the Eibachs. Had them installed the day after I picked my car up. Definitely have a rake. The front is very stiff. I'll probably change them out later. Have some rubbing issues when backing and turning to left at the same time. Handles great on the road though.

I find that somewhat odd. H&R lists their springs 2" drop in front and 1.8" drop ant the back and Eibach lists their sport lines 2" all around. This will be the first mod I'll do soon as I get my car delivered. I would like to get 2" all around...:biggrin:

Well, I returned my sportlines and ordered the new Eibach Coilover kit, they are coming out with swaybars as well. I will install everything this moday and post some pics. Should be pretty sweet.

Hey guys, sorry it took so long, but we finally got a break from the rain and I thought I'd post some pics. Mine is a 2006 300C with 22x9.5's and lowered with the H&R sport springs. I ran out of tire gel so sorry about how horrible the tires look, but at least you can get an idea of the stance of the car on the H&R springs.

sweet ride, it looks like H&R's are the way to go if you don't do coilovers. I actually scrapped the Eibachs all together and ordered the KW V2 kit, and a set of 22x9 and 22x10 Asanti AF 120's. Also just shipped out my taillights to Ernie for the dark tint job. I will post some pics when it all comes together.
