Default Springs, springs, springs...

I am planning to run 18' BBS CH's on 225/40/18's with sport springs. But I am undecided as to going with which springs. These are the options:

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs lowers 1.1"
B+G springs lowers 1.25"
H+R springs lowers 1.3"/1.2"
Neuspeed sport springs lowers 1.25"

For those who have any of the previuosly mentioned, any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated?

eibach....just right. Diminished body roll on turn in, looks right and great ride (not too harsh).

Default I can't really comment on the other as I am not familiar with the way they handle, but I have the

H&R's and I could not be happier. Then again, I have only had the car and the springs for a little over a month!

Default Just springs?

Is it just the springs or the shocks as well?? I have been thinking of the H&R my self, and the guy I am dealing with tells me the factory shocks are fine with the H&R springs. BTW, how's the ride compared to before? Is it much harder?

Default H7R says it is about 30& stiffer than stock. I like the ride much better after I put

the springs on. I guess it all depends on the environment you live in.

now scraping in and out of driveways, that is a different matter
