the eibachs we know are good. the other two brands have only come onto the scene in recent years and i dont know of anyone running them. the drop isnt significant so even if htey are softer then the eibachs they likely wont have bottom out issues. that being said. im willing to bet the eibachs are still the best out of the bunch...ride wise that is.

I've been very happy with my H&R Sports from TireRack, advertised as 1.3" front and 1.24" rear. Love the stance, Handling is great, and the ride is good on decent pavement. You'll definitely notice a difference on rougher pavement though. The factory suspension just kind of "floated" over everything. The new suspension lets you feel most every bump, expansion joint, etc. It's not "rough" mind you, but you feel stuff you didn't used to feel for sure. I'm sure part of that can be attributed to the TRD Rear Sway Bar too though. It negates the independent suspension in the rear to a certain extent since it beefs up the connection between the two wheels. Since I did the whole suspension all at once, I didn't get a chance to see what contribution the sway bar made vs. the new springs and struts. I'm guessing new springs/struts without TRD RSB might ride a little better but not handle quite as well.
