Eibach Springs - Too Soft?

I'm thinking about getting springs, and my friend said don't get Eibachs: They're too soft. I told him that my car also serves as a luxury coupe, and I don't want too harsh of a ride. He still said don't get Eibach. Can anyone sort of rank the springs? Thanks.

Goose, i've never heard Eibachs described as "soft". I had them on my last car a 97 SHO, and they were firmer than stock, but not jarring. Based on what i've learned here, i'm going with the Comptechs.Sounds like they improve the handling greatly, without much loss in ride quality, something i'm also concerned with.

I got H&R Sport Springs and they ride really nice. Close to stock, a bit stiffer and the drop is perfect. 1.75 inches front and back.
