Eibach or Comptech suspension? See what people like!!!!!

Thinking about installing some suspension on in about a week. Not sure to go with either Eibach or Comptech suspension. Was thinking of adding Bilstein coilovers and some kind of sways, not sure what's the top of the line suspension parts for our car. Got any suggestions or advice?

Does Bilstein even produce suspension mods for our cars? I haven't heard of anything.

But I would get the Eibachs (eibach v. comptech) just because comptech is over-rated and needs some good competition on the market.

I believe we could put on Bilstein coilovers for our cars too.

Comptechs look a little funny when empty at a stance (raked look)...
but on the road or with people in it, it looks great.

The eibachs looks great at a stance with no one in it...
but it looks saggy with people in it or on the road.

I'd also like to know what the best coilovers for the CL-S are, just in case I decide to change my springs again. Or at least how each of them rate in terms of ride quality, ease of adjustability, and performance.

As for Comptech vs. Eibach, I went with Comptech springs over the Eibach Pro-Kit because the Eibach kit seems to make the rear end sag as other people have mentioned. To me it looks this way even when unloaded, but I've only seen it in pics. I didn't think I'd like the Comptech rake much from some of the pics posted, but the rake isn't really noticeable on the 2 cars with Comptechs that I've seen in person. Maybe the rear end looks like it's sagging with the Eibachs only in pics, but I didn't want to take the chance since I'm planning on adding 2 10s or 12s soon.

Is there a price issue involved in getting coilovers? People that have had the Nex kit had nothing but good words to say about it. Arent the bilsteins around 2 grand for our cars?
