The "sport" springs are generally around 10-20% stiffer, at least from what I have seen for 240s. I had a set of the Eibach springs on a 242T, along with KYB shocks/struts. That made for a great ride/handling balance.

Actually, I remember that at the time (around 2001), I rented a Civic, and compared to that, the 242 handled much better, much less roll, AND on rough roads such as a cobblestone street, the ride was better and I could drive faster more comfortably. The Civic felt like it was going to shake apart, and I had to slow down.
