Whats better, Eibach or RB springs.
 
I have KYB shocks and eiback springs but i was wondering how racing beat springs are. B/c im planing to get the sway bars and they have the suspension package and i like the red. But efficiency to me is better than looks.

Oh and i got trust springs and shocks that im willing to get rid of. :bigthumb:

I have eibach, I have been very pleased with them.

eibachs have a progressive spring rate and the racing beat is linear. I've never heard anything bad about either of them. I'dsay go with the racing beats because they'll be cheaper purchased as a package.

RB springs are really nice.

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 :)
