I have eibach on my FC, and RB on my Miata. both have Tokico shocks. The FC doesn't have any thing else done to it (sway bars or anything.. .yet :)). the Miata has the RB package, as well as afew other suspension goodies. I can tell you that the RB is almost too stiff for daily driving, over here in pot-hole capital of the world. If they didn't come with the car, I probably would have chosen eibach, as the ride is much more tolorable in the FC.. If I lived in an area with less potholes (like you do), I wouldn't hesitate to get RB springs at all.
Comparision: Except for the stiff ride, i'm rather happy with how both perform at the autocross track. You will get a bit more roll with the Eibachs due to the progressive spring rate (as I'm sure you figured out already), whereas there's consistant resistance to roll with the RB.
Conclusion: For Southern CA, I'd get RB springs if I were buying new. However, since you already have eibach springs, I'd say its not worth the switch. The next jump up is to something hard-core :)
