Eibach or Espelir

I'm a couple weeks away from the end of this deployment, and have some cash to spend. I was pretty much decided on the Eibach Pro-Kit, however I've seen the espelir and it is also a mild drop for the same price range. I've seen numerous cars on here with the pro kit, but none with the espelir, so of course I wonder which would be the way to go. I don't really want to go lower than an inch and have 215/45/17, what do you think.

This is what its going to.

How much are you willing to spend? if you save a little bit more you can buy a coilover set. i think it's worth it. but i guess out of the two i'd pick eibach since i'm faimiliar with it.

The Eibach and Espelir are the same price at Dezod which is exactly what I want to spend ($235). Believe me I would love to get a coilover damper set, however my wife and I just built a house, so the idea of dropping a G on a sweet setup is pretty much out of the question. I'm more or less sold on the Eibach, plus its an inch drop all the way around, whereas the Espelir is .8 up front and 1.0 in the rear. whatever the outcome, I'll post pics. Thanks for everyone's help.

the .8 front 1.0 rear will even the car out nicely>
on our cars the rear is higher than the front, it looks dope when the rear is level>

I have the Eibach Pro-kit and I am hapy with it. The ride is nice, it feels like stock but still has that nice stiff ride. The stiffness is nothing that is harsh or uncomfortable. Me personally I would go with Eibach becasue I have not met or heard of anybody that used the Espelir springs. I haven't heard anybody really complain about Eibach. The pro-kit is great if you want to be lower but don't want to be slammed. You can tell its lowered it just doesn't look slammed.
