I think both springs are great. Just now that most of us that used H&Rs had issues with one side of the car being lower then the other. I didn't notice that issue with the Eibach users. I also had the height issue with the H&Rs. Also remember if you are going to change the spring pads and/or shocks do them at the same time to save money. I had to learn the hard way.$$$$$$$$$

I went with the H&R's. I actually heard H&R's were better. Also, the Eibach's lower your car 1.2 in the front and 1.2 in the back if you read the spec chart. The H&R's lower it 1.4 in the front and 1.3 in the back.

Can someone explain the whole "pads" concept to me? What do they do? Do I really need them when I instal my H&R's (1.4F / 1.3R)? If I'm not getting new shocks right away, should I wait to get the pads when I get the shocks?

And back to the original question: Can someone explain the whole "pads" concept to me?

from what i was told . the pads provide cushining to your springs to sit on , i guess it reduces metal to metal noise(that nasty clicking sound you hear every time you hit a bump)[;)]
