H&R or eibach???

i just want to drop my car little bit... i was thinking of getting either the eibach 1.0" front and rear drop or H&R 1.3" front and rear drop... which brand is better.. and also.. would i need to get like tokiko or one of those aftermarket struts to support these... or will my stock struts be okay with these springs.... and also... with just a little drop of 1.0" or 1.3" will i need to get a camber kit? cause i would hate for my car to be like this / \

I put the H&R's in my coupe and I think the drop was lower than 1.3", maybe 1.5" or a little more. I should have measured before I started. I like the ride alot, but I also installed koni adjustable shocks and a camber kit. I think your factory shocks will blow at some point, but no telling when so you may want to replace every thing while you have it apart.
