I'm not trying to call you out, I'm just genuinely curious as to the basis for this, we loved Eibach when I was racing, they were the most consistent in our ghetto testing (use a scale and drill press, compress and measure). Of course those weren't for big cars and it was many years ago, would love to hear the latest.
They are crap for performance applications.
1. progressive rate.
2. too soft=too much travel=bottoming out=blown shocks.
2.5, too low for given spring rates. sportlines especially.

They are made/marketed more towards the person who wants a semi-sporty ride and mild lowering without much compromise in comfort.
They aren't bad. They just aren't "race" spec'd. Sporty style at most.

ERS are good though.
