I myself was deciding btw H&R and Eibach Prokit. H&R was too extreme of a drop and Eibach was not low enough. Luckily Swift came out with a drop right in the middle. Going with Swift in 2011.

This might be a tough comparison. I'm sure the H&R is prob a tad lower and the H&R's are cheaper The thing is though if its performance then the choice is simple, Swift. I have 3 buddies so far that have swapped out to Swift Springs so far after sitting in my car. The Swift feel much more planted, and smoother on the road.
Here's my car on the Swifts.

just curious but when you say more "planted" do you mean stiffer? From my experience with the H&R's they are def like OEM, maybe just a degree stiffer, which is a good thing in my book, because the oem springs were a little soft. For Daily driving i love these springs, but, just didn't quite go low enough for me. Im not putting Swift down as i am sure that they make a great product, just trying to put down more of a comparison.
