Difficult to answer this. Most folks will have used or are using one brand or the other. I've always used Eibach so went with them. I also have friends who have always used H&R. Both a repitable, proven brands. Both lower around the same height (although, H&R does do an even lower set of springs).

I personally don't think you can go wrong with either...

Have used both...not on Audi's. But can't say bad things about either. I can say that I have the H&R on my 2010 A5 and love them. Ride is great and stance is good as well. Awaiting new wheels, but here is an idea for stock wheels with H&R drop.

Benzino,

Are these the OE 1" sport springs or the 1.3" sport springs?

They look like the H&R OE springs (1" drop) and those are OEM Y-spoke rims.

Installed springs/spacers... rides about 5% bumper surprisingly and alignment is almost back at stock specs. H&R 1" and 20/25mm H&R spacers.
