springs,shocks, and etc

I am interested in buying either eibach or H&R springs with tokico blues. Out of those two options which one would you go with, with ONLY the BLues nothing else. Also When you guys say one spring is stiffer than the other what does that mean? I went to both their websites, but i would like to hear personal stories. No looking to lower it to the ground just moderate.
Do wheelspacers do anything for your car besides looks. If you could help me decide that would be great

I for one was just like you, did'nt know what to pick!!!!!! Eibach will out handle the H&R, due to a higher spring rate(in which gives it a harder ride). Also believe the drop is 1.3 in front, 1.0 in rear, not low at all. H&R was my choice, the ride was alittle softer than the stockers, and also the drop is lower, 1.5 in front, 1.3 in the rear.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if your going with tokico blues, I think it's best suitable for the Eibach's.....

Good luck

the blues are meant to be an oem replacement so they would handle almost like stock, but they would help a little with dampening but not by a drastic amount...although any kind of aftermarket springs + shock combo is better than stock
