Springs?

Which one is better H&R or Eibach? They seem to be about the same price. Your thoughts?

I chose Eibach, I was told by numerous sources that the H&R springs are great but are stiffer than Eibach.

I have PASM so i opted for the softer ride, I Can always turn on the PASM and get "stiff".

Check out the Champion springs. They are made by H&R but to Champions specs for the 997. I visited Champion and the claim they are not as stiff as the regular H&R's. They also said they are great for DW and autocross and they have installed hundreds with out any problems.

All 997 carrera S have the PASM right? If I am correct then I have it to. I saw on the eibach website that their springs include carrera S model. I didn't see that on H&R website. That could be a difference. Please correct me guys, if I am wrong.

My 997S has TechArt springs, which if I remember correctly are made by Eibach.
