most people will go for the racing beat ones due to being linear rate. I believe both eibach and tein are progressive rate giving it a softer ride but with sacrifice to crisp handling. Do a search, there's lots of stuff on it.

I have Suspension Technique springs with KYB AGX struts. The look is pretty good and seem to handle well too. A couple people have said my car is a bit rigid to ride in, but I don't feel it's much worse than the 16yr old OEM worn out suspension.

If you want your car to hold the road better, learn to drive on the race track. Nothing beats seat time and a good set of tires for making your car faster. The combination of good lowering/performance springs and adjustable struts will help your car have more potential but is useless if you can drive.

I had eibach pro kit with AGXs before and wish I went with linear springs instead. If you are interested in the difference between linear and progressive springs do a search. I now have k2rd's coilover setup and cannot be compared to my old setup at all.
EDIT: are you planning to use stock shocks?

I have the Racing Beat Springs and the KYB AGX all around and its plenty for me. Its rides on rails and its not as harsh as I was expecting. If you're on a budget and can't go affording or have someone who can get you deals on a full coil over setup its a great way to go.
I felt the same way about the linear and progressive rates as stated above... A friend of mine had the progressive eibach kit and I didn't like it. I chose the Racing Beat way and never looked back.
