I'd be in a toss up as well, my what i've talked with steve haygood about the same issues, he seems to think the ST springs have good rates for like harder driving, but from what i understand the Eibachs have a progressive rate meaning that as you corner it bounces a little then tightens up if the pressure keeps coming.

So those might be more suited for everyday driving. My room mate is putting koni's and H&Rs on his e30 right now so i should be able to get a feel for those once hes done and we have some free time to beat the car up a little =)

But i'd go with ST, Eibach, H&R, B&G would be my choice.

Hope this helps

Are you getting schocks as well? I might suggests doing them both at the same time if you are thinking of getting new shocks in the future to prevent having to do the same job two times over.
