Choose which ever ones you think will fit your driving style best. I have eibach on my elantra and the ride is a little rough, but handling is great.

The Eibach and KYB are a good combo. Not only does it depend on what Whiplash said, but it also depends on how low you want to go, and what size rims and tires you have. Eibach is a suttle drop of around 1.2" (1.5 after settling), and the H & R is around 1.7-2" after settling. Not a HUGE difference, but if you are running wide tires or 18" rims and tires, you take a chance of some rubbing on your inner fender well. Its an easy fix (just roll your fenders), but alot of people dont have the means or knowledge to do it right.

Good luck with your project.

I have my GR-2's and H&R's in my living room ready to go in. But like said above, there are other factor's to consider. That's exactly why my 18's are for sale right now. They're not gonna fit after the drop.
