Arrow Racing beat springs or what? (FD)

I want to buy a set of racing beat springs but don't know if there to harsh for the street. I know the spring rate and would like to see some pics if anybody has them on there FD. I want a good stiff ride but not to stiff thats why i'm not getting coil overs. I heard the eibach springs are alittle on the soft side.

Eibach springs have a higher spring rate than the Racing Beat springs.

I run Eibach springs, but I question my ability to tell the difference between a pillow and a rock.

IMO RBs are too soft for the ride height, they were on my FD when I bought it. If all your after is something a bit stiffer than stock and a lower ride height, they definately are for you. They arent harsh at all. I wouldnt suggest running even mildly aggressive wheel/tire combinations with these springs. Here is a pic of my car with stock struts and the RB springs:

^^You have any more angles of your car with that sus setup?

H&R springs will lower the car more than the RB's right?

They are about the same aside from the H&R's helping a lot better with rubbing.

Here's a picture of an RX-7 (not mine, it's Zullo here on the forum at the track last year parked next to my father's Z06) which is on H&R's:

I have Racing Beat springs w/Tokiko Illumina struts available. I went with coil overs as I wanted a little stiffer set up. Only 1500-2000 miles on set up.
