Default Neuspeed or Eibach?

I'm getting a belated christmas gift, should i go for the Neuspeed sportline of the Eibach prokit. This post is NOT about how far they each drop the car, but rather which one has a stiffer spring rate. I.E. do any neuspeed or eibach owner's feel or notice any considerable amount of body roll when taking medium turns at a speed of about 35-45mph. I'm going to be visiting my grandparents alot when i transfer and they live in the appalachians with lots of switchbacks. I know this sound racist but both of the brand names sound germanish, so i'm guessing they're good at designing porsche-like(loose term) handling...??
thanks for reading

Prokit would be my suggestion. Do you have aftermarket struts. I know a few people on here have the prokit and a couple have the neuspeed. I wouold suggest some decent struts to get the full potential of your car then you can go carving away at the corners.

the pro kits are prolly your best choice

i have eibach sportlines on my car and there just too damn low and ride is very harsh even w/ my AGX's that might shange w/ a camber kit (had sprints but they sucked so i tossed em) and a proper allingnment, but still i wish i woulda bought the pro kits, hell i might sell mine and buy em anyway

I've had neuspeed race and they are perfect for me. I took corners and felt little to no body roll (maybe screeching tires) and I can take some sweeping turns at 60mph. That was all on stock struts and I ran it for about 5 years before I sold the car. Best springs ever. Got some for my 93 civic as well, but this time I got tokico hp struts and WOW, smooth ride almost like factory, but it can handle real well.

I have Neuspeed Sports and I love them. It's Sport though, not Sportline, I think Sportline is Eibach. I have no idea what a switchback is but if it's some kind of term for twisty turns or something I think you will be fine. I've driven my car around in a lot of snow and all that it was ok.

Body roll isn't going to amount to springs and spring rates as much as it will with sway bars and strut bars.


Eibach is a better company, better rep IMO
