Eibach vs. H&R vs. GM Performance

[UltimaSanctus]

Hey guys quick question. Sorry if its been asked before. Is there any height difference between the Eibach/H&R lowering springs compared to the GMPerformance ones? Im wondering cause my RS had the GMP ones installed before i bought it and wanted to go a little lower without spending the cash for coilovers

I would be interested in knowing how much better the GMP are over the RS. I have a RS for a daily driver and was contemplating getting the GMP set.

Of what you mentioned eibach is the lowest overall. H&R doesn't have quite as much drop in the rear as the eibach. GMP are highest.

ZZP also has their own springs now. They do a drop of 1.25" all around. Similar drop to Eibachs in the front, not quite as low in the rear.

That's what I'm probably going to go with. The lowest price of all the options as well.

I forgot about the ZZP. If that is their drop then it's probably similar in looks to the H&R springs. All the pics I've seen of H&R they seem to mimic the stock rake, just lower.

Another option is KSPEED. They sell on ebay and are from Korea. I'd be a little cautious about them because it seems some people have had to go back and forth with them to get the right parts, but they are definitely the most drop out there. They advertise about 2" of drop front and rear.

If it helps, here are some pics.

I'm overall fairly pleased with the springs. They came with new bumpstops and the springs themselves. I occasionally hit the bump stop in the rear I think, but it's pretty rare.. in fact, I may have actually just been confusing tire contact with bumpstop hits. I haven't felt it since putting on new wheels.
