better for?  you're not giving us enough information to help you out.  maybe tell us what you do with the car.  do you autox, daily driver...ect...

Autox...  Sounds like detox...

I was wondering about this too. But for me, I do not care at all about the ride comfort. I want the springs that will give me the most performance.

it's for us car enthusiasts that get too carried away with cars.  You end up riding the bus for the rest of your life.

I hope no one throws me an intervention.  Public transportation smells.

1) eibach sportline springs will drop your car the most, but the ride is sacrificed as well as the OEM shocks. 
2) eibach prokit will give you a decent drop and still allow the car to ride well and not take to much of a toll on your OEM shocks.
3) tanabe DF210's will give you a better drop than the eibach prokit and still gives you a decent ride comfort. (these are the ones I will be getting)
4) tanabe GF210's will give you a slight drop and can be compared similarly to the eibach prokit.

IMO

i dont know if yall have seen the GF210 it a F0.8 R1.0 the spring rate is F3.4 R4.7

it seems to me that every set of pictures Tanabe has shown for each set of springs are the same exact pics and to behonest, to me didn't even look dropped at all.  Not saying that in person on one of our cars it would be that way, but if they gave more accurate, closer, before/after pics everybody could get a better idea of the looks of the drop.  On the other side of that though, eibach never showed nor has shown pics before and since users bought them.  It took someone buying and installing them, then taking pics themselves to show what they can do.  that only happened because they were the only springs available.  It seems to me someone else is going to have to do the same.  I coulda sworn somebody on here has pics of the tanabes now.  I suggest that whoever has pics compare them to the eibach's.  Tanabe has, in my opinnion, always been well known for their patented process of coil manufacturing and seem to be of pretty decently high quality as far as what to expect of springs and what they do to a ride.  It all boils down to what you expect your springs to do as to which will be better.

So for spirted driving and the occasional Autox (practice day) are the Eibach prokit better or worse then the stock springs?
