I didn't use the tape, though. I picked up a can of graphite lubricant and sprayed the shit out of the bushings.
Eibach is one millimeter thicker in the rear, if my memory serves me right. That means it would aid reduce understeer more than the Comptech kit, but not significantly. They are both good brands. It just comes down to your preference. Personally, I have the Comptech kit, so I would recommend that. But I would also recommend Eibach because they have a good reputation and solid products.
By the way, the Eibach kit is a little bit more expensive.

I think were gonna have people who are fans of comtech obviously pick comptech and the eibach fans are gonna pick eibach. Most people have comptech srpings and sways together and the other way round so I think its preference and price.

By the way, it's White Lithium Grease. Not graphite. I pulled an all-nighter last night for two exams, so I was a little out of it when I posted that.

I have CT sways. No noise and great handling.
Unless you are tracking the car I doubt you'd want stiffer than CT.

+ To prevent any noise I teflon taped it with the tape they supplied where the bar would contact the bushing, then I greased the inside of the bushing itself with regular automotice grease. No problems in 2 months.
