Post Eibach Springs

I'm trying to decide what springs to go with but, I'm confused. I've been going through the archives researching the Eibach's and not getting any closer to a decision. One guy says thy sre stiffer than stock, another says they are softer than stock. One guy says the steering gets tighter while another says it got loose. Well, which is it? :dunno:
I'm trying to keep it as stiff or stiffer than stock while redusing body roll. Does the car bounce with these or stay pretty solid. If anyone has any pictures of an Evo 8 with Eibach's, I would love to see them. I can't seem to find any posted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance. :helpme:

Just out of curiosity. What do you want for them, Diesel? Give me your opinions on the Eibach's.

Where did you have your springs installed? Any precaution you have to take? Also, what was the total cost?

I goin to get the eibach spring soon, hope by this DEC03.
Only thing that not too happen about is it drop 1" front and 1" rear. Coz I prefer the stock rear gap(2.5 fingers) May be I juz change the front spring only.
I used eibach pro kit on my 94 Integra V-Tec. Excellent springs!

my car was definitely not softer than stock... no way in hell... maybe the VIII springs have lower spring rates...? cause i actually have the springs for the VII, as when i got the car there were no other choices as far as springs went...

did you trim or shorten the bump stops when you installed them? That couldve caused the roughness...even at stock ride height there is only .25" of travel until the car gets into the bumpstop ( mustve designed the bumpstop into the spring rate/deflection curve)
