If you're looking for a coilover system, I would also recommend that you check out what KW has to offer. For a daily driver, I would recommend that you check out the KW V1 or KW V2 systems. They'll lower your car from 1.2-2.3 inches up front and 0.9-2.1 inches in the rear.

The KW V1 will give you the ability to adjust the height of your car with pre-set damping.

The KW V2 will give you the ability to adjust both the height and the rebound damping characteristics. The rebound damping primarily, controls pitch and roll of the vehicle, especially in the low speed damping range which directly influences handling and comfort. Therefore vehicle can be adjusted to the needs of the driver, making the ride variable from comfortable to sporty and stiff, both with improved road handling.

Personally, I'd look at AST's, TC Kline's, etc, as well.

Be sure to write a review after you install those; I'm interested in Eibach Pro-Street also and would like to know how you end up liking them.

Also I think I need some conti DW's, I'm running nankang's which are not the greatest and feel pretty stiff, but overall these coil-overs feel pretty good, the handling is crazy! in a good way.

I was freaking out and about to go the shop and switch back the eibach pro kit, but going thru my normal roads, I realized not so bad and wasn't jarring me over the usual bumps like the H&R's I had been running the last couple of months were doing.
Tbh I was very surprised to read your first impression of the kit, as all of rest of the reviews I have read claims the comfort to be pretty good (at least compared to other coilovers/spring-shock combos).

What setting/height are you riding at?

Okay, so you are actually on the worst setting (comfy-wise) - slammed to the ground?
