I myself was deciding btw H&R and Eibach Prokit. H&R was too extreme of a drop and Eibach was not low enough. Luckily Swift came out with a drop right in the middle. Going with Swift in 2011.

This might be a tough comparison. I'm sure the H&R is prob a tad lower and the H&R's are cheaper The thing is though if its performance then the choice is simple, Swift. I have 3 buddies so far that have swapped out to Swift Springs so far after sitting in my car. The Swift feel much more planted, and smoother on the road.
Here's my car on the Swifts.

just curious but when you say more "planted" do you mean stiffer? From my experience with the H&R's they are def like OEM, maybe just a degree stiffer, which is a good thing in my book, because the oem springs were a little soft. For Daily driving i love these springs, but, just didn't quite go low enough for me. Im not putting Swift down as i am sure that they make a great product, just trying to put down more of a comparison.

This spring compared to the oem is also different. The oem spring to me, picked up all the little cracks and uneven surfaces on the pavement. It wasnt uncomfortable or anything but then when going around a corner the car would roll a good amount. The Swift springs is almost the exact opposite. They absorb all the irregularities of the road. They are really smooth on the road, but when you take a corner there is no body roll.

By planted I mean that the steering is more responsive and the car grips. It's completely level through the corners. The thing is when I purchased these springs I was really afraid of the spring rates because they are so much stiffer than anything else on the market. But they are more than daily driveable, in fact they are smoother than stock.

The only real problem with these springs is the price. they retail at 419 dollars, and I bought mine for 335 shipped.

I track my car monthly and so I am extremely impressed by the design and rates of these springs. So if you occasionally track your car and are not looking for coilovers. These are in my opinion, "coilover performance" lowering springs with comfort of daily driving in mind.

TJ- do you tracked or Autox at all?
