Eibach or Racing Beat springs for KONIs (FD)

I have the KNOIs adjustable and I have both set of springs which is better for a 100% street car and the best ride? I am in NYC and the road are trash so I want to save my wheels and my back.
The KONI spring perch have a 15 mm drop so I guess I can always lower the car withthat setting. But I want a nice combo...

let me know what you are thinking

PIC of your ride to
Sunil517@hotmail.com with the combo you are running..

I have 18" ADRs

I have Koni Yellows w/ RB springs on 18" wheels. I use the car as a "spirited" daily driver and love the setup. The only real problem I have had is road construction areas and potholes - they hurt ! Luckily for me, my normal drives are on pretty decent roads ...

When I lived in NYC, I really liked the ride quality of Konis with the stock springs. I used the middle perch to get a little bit of lowering.

I also tried H&R springs, PFS springs and RSR coil overs. The Koni + stock springs gave the better ride quality over the pot hole ridden roads of NYC.
