springs....any thoughts

I am trashing my stock springs and am wondering what you think is a better application.

Im between the sportlines and the pro kit from eibach. I cant make up my mind. I have a 91 coupe. I dont want to have any problems with it scraping or any of that. I dont want it to ride too rough. I have heard the sportlines can ride rough but others say they dont. IM assuming they may ride rougher on the coupe since there isnt as much weight in the back end as the hatch. They both got very good reviews but i want a second opionion before i buy them. Has anyone installed either of these springs in a coupe?? I dont want it to look too low either......im not driving an import

I have tried many combinations, including pro kit all around on my 92 GT hatch. I found the pro kit to be too low for rough jersey roads and hills. Ground effects were the worse for wear. I am now running 2001 GT springs in the rear and FMS b springs in the front, with 70/30 Lakewoods Front and Koni adj. reds in the rear(set on softest setting), with aftermarket upper and lower arms and reversed quads. This provides a good balance of launch and handling for me, with enough tire clearance to run 255/50/16s in the back and 225/55/16s in the front. Hope this helps.
