i have seen H and R's, and i think the drop is nice, but a little too low for my taste.
i am still saving money for some prodrives...

The H&Rs have the best looking drop in my opinion, but they ride really harsh and maybe drop a little too far for the stock struts. The Eibach is the best all-around deal here, a good amount of lowering but not too much so as to cause damage to the struts, and the spring rates are just a little over stock so they ride comfortably. The fact that they only cost $220-$240 is just icing on the cake.
FWIW, the much more expensive (and harsher riding) Prodrive springs are made by Eibach.
I hate to say one brand has the best deal going, but it's true here: the Eibachs are the one of the highest quality and least expensive sets of springs designed around the stock struts, plus they lower pretty good and ride really nice.
I'm in no way affiliated with Eibach, I've just tried a lot of springs and I have found these to be the best balance of features at the best price.
FWIW, I like smooth rides though - if you like cars that ride rough and can deal with the initial extra cost and premature wearing of the stock struts, go with the H&Rs - their drop looks a little better and they do handle slightly (SLIGHTLY) better.
