I'm going to get new wheels and planning to lower the ride all at once. Which one of these two spring set is better? which one has more comfortable ride? which one drop the ride more?

Better ride- Eibach
Lower- HR

Id go with the Eibachs.

You cant really get low and comfortable ride.

KG/MM springs are better tuned for the car than either, in my opinion.

I agree, they provide a nice drop, and people say they handle well. The Eibachs seem to be geared more toward comfort and looks. I dont know a whole lot about HR though.

I've had H&R springs before (not on an S2000 though) and I was happy with them.

Hm...im having the same dilema Im going with either one of these When i lowered my Corrado i used eibach and it was very low when i used neuspeed (i hear they are made by H&R) the car sat a bit higher but i think rode better. So i too dont know which to get. Id rather buy from a company that has a race reputation such as eibach and H&R so i wont go with the KG whateva springs. Before coming to this site i had never even heard of those! They may be a good option but i dont know. So we need to hear from Eibach equipped S2K owners, as well as H&R S2K owners and get some feedback here

Not true. They are not geared toward looks. We engineered the original s2k spring on my car. We found that if you go any lower than we currently do, performamce is sacrificed. We will not put anything on the market that will make the vehicle perform worse than stock.

I do not have input on the H&R Units, as I have never personally used them. What I can tell you is that the Eibach Spring will be made of superior materials and offer a better warranty (million miles against sag or deformation). Plus, we actually make the springs ourselves.
