Which lowering springs?

Have any of you guys had experience with either Racing Beat springs or Eibach springs for your 1st gen? I plan on buying a set of these pretty soon and i would like some feedback.

I installed Suspension Technologies lowering springs (lowered 1") and ST anti sway bars with tokico blues all round.....the ride is alot harder, but the control and handling is AWESOME!

I've never used the RB springs, but have used both the Eibach and the ST ones, and both are good, but would take the Eibachs over the ST's, they seem to be more of a lowering coil than a performance coil.

i have the eibachs too... they handle incredible. they're a little harsh though. i'm using tokico hp's (a fine shock) and am wishing i had gone with something adjustable. these indiana roads aren't as smooth as my old florida stomping grounds.
