Eibach pro system vs H&R cup kit touring

I'm considering a drop for my e90. I currently have the base suspension and the wheel gap is just too much. I would appreciate whatever handling benefits come along, but I want to sacrifice as little ride quality as possible. My car is a daily driver and doesn't see any track time or autox. So I think I have narrowed it down to either the Eibach pro system or the H&R cup kit (touring). I really like the idea of a matched set of components from a single manufacturer. Both lower roughly the same I believe. How do they compare in ride quality? Any advice appreciated.

I can't say how the H&R cupkit rides since I haven't tried it personally, but I am on the Eibach Pro System (shocks + spring) and I'm pretty happy with how it rides. (The stiffness / the way I feel the road when driving, etc)
(I should also note that I didn't have sports pkg)

I do think it could lower the front about half an inch - an inch more though, and maybe a half an inch in the rear.

I have been TOLD that H&R generally ride stiffer, but cannot confirm this.

My decision actually came down to which kit was available to order

I have Eibach pro system for the past two weeks.
Ride is similar to ZSP suspension. A little bit stiffer and you for sure feel like having more control about your car.

I qould go lower with my car however if you do not whant to go to low it is perfect.
You will not have a bad efect on your comfort and car will look better and act better on the road.
