If you are just looking for street springs, stick to the RB's. They're a quality set and they're pretty cheap. None of the street spring sets out there are anywhere near stiff enough for any kind of serious racing. For that you'll need coil overs.

I plan on going to Eibach pro-kit springs myself. Maybe the RB springs. I haven't decided yet. I still have stock suspension for now though, so I can't offer any advice on which one gives a more comfortable ride. Soon I will have an opinion on one of them, though.

I have the Eibach pro-kit springs. They give the car a very nice stance, and they feel great. My stock springs were so worn out that they bottomed out alot. With the Eibach's the ride feels alot better. Doesn't seem stiff at all to me. Just make sure your tires are inflated to the right PSI, if you have them too high the tire can't absorb some of the impact of bumps and could cause the ride to feel stiffer than it should be. That's just my opinion

I have the RB springs, they say its too harsh for street use, but it is a lie. The car feels good, not too stiff at all. I will be upgrading to coilovers in the future but for now I'm loving the RB's
