maxspeeds v. eibachs

decision time for me. i've finally decided to upgrade my suspension. i'm gonna replace the struts with GR2's. i'm SURE that this has been talked about a bunch of times. i know that eibachs will be rougher than maxspeeds, but will it be that much worse? and i know that the drop of eibachs is conservative...real world, how do the drops of the two springs compare?

GR2/Maxspeeds here and love it. Rear drop could be lower.

who said they were stiff? paired with GR-2s its a nice ride. dont believe all u hear on this board...some people think their cars rides great, even though they are on blown struts/shocks...because they just dont know...

and, i live in NY...the pothole capitol of the world, so, i know all about the $hitty city roads...

i'm from 20 minutes outside of NYC, my sister goes to school in manhatten, and both of my parents work in the city as well. i'm driving in queens/manhatten, etc. very frequently. boston roads are worse. for a big city, NYC roads are pretty good.

i've never been in a suspension modded car, but i have been in some stiff stock cars (E46 M3's, etc). is there anything you can compare tein/GR2's to?
