Buying Springs

Hello! Waiting on arrival of my progress rear sway bar and now I'm looking for springs. I'm the occasional autocrosser and am NOT looking for a bumpy ride. I drive over 20,000 miles a year so comfort is still a priority although I would like something that would reduce body roll. I was looking at this:

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, 1" Drop plenty of room for shocks to work properly, looks better, and still comfortable. Anyone have these?

Tein S-Tech, H&R Sport, Aspec spring, Neuspeed Sport those are the ones I can think off right now that have minimal drop but are a bit firmer than stock.

Yea not really looking to do anything more than 1.5". Why is it that some springs lower the front more than the rear?

Hmm I guess to level the car out.

They're always like that because the factory setup is like that. The rear will always sit higher so if you buy lowering springs it still keeps it somewhat factory.

They do it for passengers or stuff in the trunk. If they made it level you'd have rubbing and be bottoming out the suspension (given enough weight).

I don't hear about many people using the eibach kit. IIRC, back when I was researching springs, I feel like there were people unhappy with those though. I found out a lot of good things about the tein s techs and the h&r sports, and I eventually settled on s techs. Can't comment on them yet, but they should be going on next week.

It seems like most people here on springs are using the S-Techs or the H&R Sports.
