Contemplating Suspension setup....need help

I am trying to figure out what suspension I should run. Eibiach Pro's with Stock R1 struts. Eibach Pro's with Tokico Illumina adj. Or a basic to mild coilover setup.

Im wanting the aggressive stance, a suspension that can handle and beast a track or autocross, and a suspension that I can drive on the road.

Give me some reasons and try to persuade me please, because I can't make up my mind.

Check out Tein... They have a large variety of suspensions from springs, to coilovers, to full damper kits and their prices seem reasonble. Everyone I know who has ever used them is 100% satisfied. I believe STech is the most common spring FD owners buy. Very clean stance. Do a search cuz someone posted pics of their freshly lowered car on STech springs just the other day.

Tripoint front sway bar, GAB Shocks, (if race class always change): Eibach springs (otherwise) OEM R2 springs. But really if classes rule permit or you don't care go with coilovers .. Tein are good, but the few thousand spent will not help without sway bar and bushing changes. Read this site for bushing reccommends: rear lower trailing arm is a place to start, also look at Sticky: 94 FSM's available for download and look in Collision Repair Manual to not parts changed between Standard and Hard (R!/R2) suspensions. By memory rear lower long link, f/r shocks, f springs on 94-95 R2 .. also Stnd '95's had more softening of front lower control arms, rear upper control arms over earlier models (all)

Ya im really looking at Tein because what eibach pros and tokico adj go for you can get some coilovers for almost the same price. so i guess ill look into some coilovers (do you think i can still keep a streetable suspension with this?)

Well I'm still thinkin about this. I have had a thought. I am going to get coilovers later on. But for now I'm just wanting a lower stance. I searched about my question before but for some reason now I can't find it. Well anyways here is my question. Can I run stock R1 struts with eibach pro springs (replace all stock rubber mounting) without rubbing or other problems?
