Eibach prokit + TokikoHP- is it worth it?

I am thinking of replacing my 85se stock springs and shocks with Eibach prokit springs and tokiko hp shocks. My questions are: 1. what kind of improvement can I anticipate in handling? 2. How different will the ride feel compared to the stock setup. I know I am asking subjective questions, nevertheless, I like to get some feedback from those of you that have this setup. The car is stock except for the RB streetport exhaust system and the RB front sway bar. By the way, the car is driven once a week to and from work and normal weekend driving. I do not autocross or drag race the car. Thanks in advance.

The car will feel a lot more stiffer. I think the Eibachs are stiffer compared to the other springs. If you can afford it, go with the Illumninas. I just upgraded mine from the blues and it feels a lot better.

you will get a much better balenced car with the racing beat springs and i think they are cheaper too

suspension tech + tokico hp with new bushings...

i do not autocross nor race...just drive normally and the upgrade is well worth it. the ride is a little stiffer but not by much...eibachs are stiffer though, which on california roads, might not be a bad thing...hope that helps...
