Default Eibach Sportline or Eibach Road Race springs?

I wanted to know who is running Sportline or Road Race springs? I definitely want to lower my car but was wondering which will lower more? On the application guide the drop is about the same but was wondering if the Road Race springs have higher spring rates? Are they too stiff for daily driver application? Definitely doing strut bars, tie bars, upgraded LCA and maybe upgraded sway bar. I've seen a few pics with upgraded sway bars and them tearing through the subframe. Even if I don't upgrade the sway bar, can strut bars and such w/ upgraded LCAs be stiff enpugh to tear the frame aswell or only if a bigger sway is installed. I know this sounds kinda noob but don't want to damage things...Should I invest on Road Race springs? On this subject...decent struts to mate with? I do want good ones but Koni are too $$ for me. Can KYB hold up? Thanks.

Peronsally I would say u'd need new struts with that much drop. Don't know how long your stockies would last before they blow.

I had stockies on my Accord with Sportline springs...lasted 1.5 years. But I do want to go wiht my right foot first and invest in struts aswell. I do want some input on Road Race springs though...

BTW, how was the ride with the Sportline? Stiff?

But damn I hate how aftermarket springs always has the front sitting a bit higher...can anything be done to even this out? This is the ONLY reason I want coilovers...to be either even or the front a little lower...

well compared to my ground controls... about the same... i think ground controls are a bit stiffer...
i bought coilovers cuz i had a bad experience with a lowered car last winter...

anyways remember my back was really low because i have 2 12 inch woofers that weigh about 20 lbs each, a box made of 3/4 mdf and two amps
