I received my Koni Yellow dampers.
Should I go with Eibach Sportline springs or with H&R Sport springs?. I cannot make my mind between these two sets. I want something very stiff because I sometimes go on closed racing tracks, but I don't want to be too low on the street of Quebec and in winter.
Please, give me your opinions on these sets.

Id go with Tein, but from your list go with Eibach.

I used progress group springs with my Konis, and the handling is awesome. If I needed to do track days as well as street, I'd probably go with a coil-over setup, but the spring rate will be pretty brutal on the street for anything that works well on track.

Tein and Progress seem to have a low spring rate. I used to have the full coilover kit from Koni/Comptech on my old SiR.

I ordered the Eibach Sportline kit.

Yes!
I'll post the pics when I'll have them.
It seems to be a front 1.5, rear 1.6" drop! Just perfect. A 2 fingers wheel gap in the front ans a little bit less than 2 fingers in the back. I hope that they won't sag.
For the moment, the Koni are setted at 540 degrees (stiffer position minus on half turn).
The setup is less comfortable than stock.
I still have to do a real road test on a closed race track. Maybe in august.

don't worry, it's not sagging, it's just the way our fenders are in the rear, it gives that look/measurement of being lower in the rear. I have mine set to 1 full turn in the front and 1 and 1/4 in the rear now. It's perfect for me.
