Arrow SPRINGS HOTCHKIS or EIBACH

What springs are better?

Do you go with the Eibachs for more money and a really small drop or do you go with Hotchkis at a good price and a little bit more of a drop?


Both of these have had great great reviews on this forum but I can decide!!!!!1



HELP!!!!!!!!!

Both are great performers. The Eibachs will ride a bit better down the road, but wont give you an aggressive of a look. The Hotchkis will handle a better and give the car a meaner look. So it depends on what you want. I run Eibachs in my car and love them.

I had Eibachs in my 350Z for a while before I replaced them with the NISMO suspension. I had Eibachs in my GTI and it rolled over more than stock. I had Eibachs on a couple F-bodies.

Am I glad I made the switch to Hotchkis for the EVO. Absolutely. My Eibachs sagged on my GTI, but not on my 350Z (for whatever reason). I like the way the Hotchkis rides better, it is a more "sure" feeling of the road. I'm happy with the Hotchkis compared to the many sets of Eibachs I have owned. Plus they're cheaper so it's like icing on the cake, baby!!

We are authorized tire rack dealer, installed Eibach products and Hotchkis. Eibach is great - but like Neal mentioned, Hotchkis is more agressive yet with quality that can back up the product. Both are great products though.
