"better is subjective, i know someone who had a 99 honda coupe with eibach dont know if they are the same as what you are looking at but it was a really nice ride, stiff and solid, but not jarring like those rice cookers.

also rims and tires make a big differnce if you have 16's or 17's id recommend going to the 15's they are smoother"

Going to a 15 inch rim would KILL the handeling aspects of the car as compare to the 17's.

I have the IPD springs, bars, and KONI adjustable shocks, and I drive with the rears at 50% and the fronts at the firmest setting. GRANTED it knocks the crap out of your car when you hit any good sized holes, but worth it IMHO!

Plus I like being able to out corner and accelerate many higher end sports cars......

If you are going to keep the OEM struts and shocks, get the IPD parts, as the shocks and struts were more noticable in the harshness area.

Hope that helps you out!
