I have the Eibachs and they are great. Throw in a set of Tokico D specs while you are at it.

If I had the chance to do it over again, I would have definitely gone with the Eibach Pro-Kit.

Default Hey

I love my steedas, just the right amount of drop. Ride quality unchanged.

My experience with the Eibach's is that is drops the car to much for me....to rough of a ride.
IMO.

Choosing from your list above I will say Eibach Prokit.
I have H&R Super Sport Springs (1.7"F/1.9"R) and have never second guessed my decision. If you go with a spring that is considered less aggressive (Ultralite) you will more than likely not need shocks/struts. On the other hand, with a more aggressive spring (Sportline) you will wear out your shocks/struts faster than normal and need to replace them sooner down the road. IMO with the springs you are choosing from you wouldn't need shocks/struts but the ride will be greatly improved if you changed to something like the Tokico Dspecs.
