I now have Eibach springs on my 124, so I feel that I can give a pretty good comparison with the H&Rs I ran on my red car.
Both are high quality parts, the H&Rs lower the car a little more 1.2" at the front and 1.1" at the rear, vs .8 at both ends for the Eibachs. In terms of pure performance I have to give the nod to the slightly lower and stiffer H&Rs. It's not much of a difference, but I do notice it. In terms of ride quality, the Eibachs are slightly better, in fact, it seems exactly the same as with the stock 124 Abarth suspension. I did notice a very minor decrease in ride quality with the H&Rs, but I didn't mind it, and it was really minor and you would only notice it on certain roads.
I prefer the H&Rs, but not by enough to remove the Eibachs and switch then out. The springs are the only suspension mod on my 124 Abarth. It's handling is nowhere near the handling I had with my red 124, which had H&Rs plus Eibach anti-sway bars. So for street performance, that's still my suggested set up, although the Eibachs are a good option, and if I add in the anti-sways, that should bring it up to the level of performance I want.
For a lot of people, I think the Eibachs may be a better choice. The ride height is a little more street friendly and the better ride may matter to some people.
