It all depends on what you are going for? You'll know what I mean when you use the search feature.

I guess I should have been a little more clear... I am lookin for a 1.25" drop and performance handling..the ride I would expect not to be too hard and not too soft... just right.. now what I mean...

H&Rs give a stock ride feeling,
Eibach Pro Kits give a stiffer than stock SE ride feeling.
Choice is yours.

Go for the kyb agx with H&R's ~1.4 drop are best ones out there for what you are looking for. Check the Group Deal forum I think that combo is selling for $500.

I've got the Eibach pro kit 1.5 & 1.3" with stock struts right now. Had 'em for about three months. I'm getting some creaking noise so next week while getting a brake job I'm having KYB's installed also. Hope that gets rid of some of the noise.

Having installed H&R's very recently I would have to say that they are quite a bit firmer than stock and are not harsh. I have heard quite a few people say that Eibach's are harsh especially with AGX's. I installed the H&R's with AGX's and an Addco RSB (already had the Courtesy FSTB) and definitely would say the feel is "just right". Not too firm, not too soft, and the handling cannot be described. It makes me as giddy as a school girl when I can push it through the twisties. To the unfamiliar the car doesn't look like it's been lowered and for me this is an advantage because where I live there are lots of lowered cars and they always seem to get the wrong kind of attention.
