Eibachs are a little harsh IMHO. Steeda Sport springs are nice and firm but don't really affect ride quality all that much. Even without the iso's I have no problems with scraping on stuff. I would get beefier shocks and struts though, controling the higher spring rates tends to wear out the stockers pretty quickly.

Eibachs are the smoothest, most like factory, excellent ride you will ever install. It's all in the spring rates, and pro kits and sportlines have low rates in the front, almost as low as stock, and the rears of eibach springs are nearly if not the same as stock.

What kind of Tokicos are installed on your car? ones meant for lowered suspension, such as the Blues or the illumina adjustables?
If you think Eibachs ride rough, wait till you try a HR or steeda. Their owners say it isnt harsh, but it is harder than Eibach for sure. As a trade off, you get better handling. Eibachs just look good, thats why i bought them. I saw all the other springs, HR supersports, pro kits, Steeda, etc.. they all look like junk on a new edge, they dont fill up the gap, especially in the rear, and if ppl put big wheels, even 255 45 17 or 295 35 18s, it looks 'jacked up' from a distance IMO

FRPP springs are pretty rough springs too, you'll see how it rides.
As to why sportlines are softer in the rear, maybe because they wernt able to have the spring short enough to drop 1.8" and have the spring rate soft at the same time, since the height affects the spring rate. So they may of designed it to be a bit softer, really its about the exact same as stock.
