Default H&R springs for Xa and Xb

i recently found out that H&R makes springs for scions, also. this makes things more complicated as i already had my mind set on eibach's springs. now i am between the two.

which one is the more reputable company? or, those of yu who have the H&R's already, how do yu like it? there's already a lot about the eibach's on this forum, so i have a pretty good idea of how people feel about it.

thanks ahead.

I had H&R springs in my Audi 100CS Quattro Wagon and loved it.

yeah great springs, but they aren't even produced yet. i called H&R and got the "call back in 6-8 weeks and we'll tell you when they're coming out" line.

thanks for the replies, guys. i think im gonna wait for a few people to try the H&R's first before i make up my mind. i just don't ahve the money to do the testing. having asked around, most people recommend eibach. so, im still leaning that way.

I've worked with H&R's street and track springs and their Coilover systems. They make a GREAT product. It works well. However, I've got sprint springs in mine and it's great. If I wanted to go all out with coilovers then H&R(if they make them) is all you need. Sprint is a smaller comapny, but their parts work well. besides, they are all just a coil of wire... We REALLY should be asking what type of spring (specific or progressive) they are and what the spring rates are. Thats what REALLY matters!

Any idea if they are going to make performance shocks or coilovers for our rides?

H&R has a good product along with Eibach. Stick to the big manufacturers and you shouldn't have a problem with the suspension.

H&R make great products...

I have a set of their coilovers on my WRX and couldn't be happier.



My wife is considering getting an xB and I already told her I may like to drop it with H&R's
