Alright guys, I've searched and searched and can't find anyone that has had both eibach and swift springs. Both brands seem to have very good reviews.

My question is what set provides the most OEM like ride?

I have a non comp pack M with EDC.

Eibach will be softer. Swift will be harder.

You will need to find out the spring rates first. Then it will be obvious.

Thanks. I did my research and do realize that the swifts are about 100lbs stiffer F&R, but I've heard that the materials and coiling method that swift uses makes their springs very comfortable for street driving.

No experience with Eibach, but I am happy with the firmness/comfort ratio of my Swift Spec R plus Bilstein B6 EDC on the street.

Also running the Swift and B8 Setup. It is stiffer yet still pretty close to stock in terms of comfort. I do wish it was a tad lower but it's definitely a good amount of drop.

I got Eibach from Prokit. It was decently comfortable but not too soft.
