On the Track I am sure they would be, for road use...hmmmm bit too harsh, but that could have been down to bad road setup, personally I would prefer my STI shocks with Eibachs for the road as you still get some compramise rather than out and out hardcore suspension, and yeah they are about £1500 new

I've been told that eibachs are a bit lower but not as good for handling purposes as standard STi springs. Is this true?

Eibachs are only about 25mm lower than sti springs, I've got no idea on how they handle compared to std sti suspension, prob a question you need to ask in the Suspension forum tbh....
