Like the title says... id like to know a little bit about these springs... so if you have it, post up. Is like to know how they ride compared to stock and if youve had any problems.

I really like them. They are stiffer than stock. but not terribly. The car handles much better, alittle bumpier, but not overly noticable ( I put them on without the wife knowing, and she hasnt said anything about the car riding stiffer). I have the stock ZX3 195/60/15 tires on, I imagine It will be more noticable with a tire/wheel upgrade.

Indeed, the Prokit springs are 1.5", and the Sportlines are what you're talking about.

Go with the Pro Kit; you'll love it!
if u re going to lower your car, try to get a stiffer shocks too for handling. When u use the pro-kit with your stock damper,it is little stiffer than stock springs. But believe me or not nearly same handling if u use stock dampers.And also i dont like the rear spring's balance with stock dampers at high speed driving. But there is no problem with normal driving.

def. better handling. my tires will almost always break loose in a corner before and serious body roll occurs. but then again i have the midgety 195's on. if you are into a more drastic change in appearence these are not the best for a "slammed" look.

There are no cons, sorry.
Pros:
Better handling, less body roll, still somewhat "driveway" drivable (ie not SLAMMED), better look, and of course overall performance.

In YOUR Opinion.
In MY Opinion, a stock SVT will Handle better.
The Eibach setup will reduce more body-roll than the SVT setup, but it will also understeer more.
Having driven the setup, I'd take either the SVT setup, MY current setup, or any one of several other options First.
i have the pro-kit and kyb agx adjustables (usually 4 in the front and 6 in the rear) and its a great setup. i can take turns 20-30 mph faster then they are rated. their is a 20mph turn by my house i've taken at 50mph and the tires started to break loose.

If it's a daily driver, I would take the Eibach over other stiffer springs. It's a good weekend warrior/street car setup.

Don't get me wrong...
It's not a Terrible setup..., but, I'd rather have the rotation of the SVT kit and have an even better "ride" than the Firmer, but Understeering Eibach setup.
If body-roll scares you, or if looks are more important, the Eibach kit will be OK, so long as you incorporate driving techniques that take the understeer into account, OR at least leave the Front bar off and go with a standard or SPI front bar.
