Anybody running actual Racing Beat Springs and Mazda Speed Struts?

Just like the title reads...opinions, lowering etc. The Racing Beat site states they lower .75" in front, .815 in the rear, and are 27% stiffer than the stock springs. Sounds a little stiff for a daily driver, but does anyone have first hand knowledge. Anybody know if Eibachs are softer, or stiffer compared to the Racing Beat springs? Are the Racing Beat springs progressive?

Originally I was going to go with the MP3 set up, but I can save a few bucks by going this route, but I don't want to throw away too much comfort. TIA!

That's the setup I'm planning on doing soon, plus the MP3 swaybars front and rear. I'm also curious to know if anyone else has this setup.

I use RB springs(with stock struts), they are fine for the street. I believe Eibachs are a bit softer than RB. RB are progressive.
So choose your poison:
RB: Stiffer, less drop-more suspension travel
E: Softer, more drop-less suspension travel
But, to be objective-no matter what way you go, you will not loose.
