I've got Eibach Pro Kit + Koni FSD and it works wonderful, even on the track. Pics @ full throttle:



I switched to these from the H&R Street Coilovers because passengers (business associates) were complaining about the stiff suspension.

This rides the same if not better than stock sports package. HOWEVER... you'll have a tendency to bottom out over speed bumps and freeway expansion joints if you are going too fast, or if you have more than 2-3 passengers in the car.

I have bilstein and H&R sport and I love them. they did however change the ride characteristics quite drastically.

Thats an understatement. Its like going from D-Cup cushions of love to a Flatboard Wonder-Bra.

For me, coilovers are too bumpy. I'd go with Sachs Sport. It's very good for everyday use both in the city and on highways.
