skunk2 springs are great. they improved handling as well giving the car a more agressive look. the ride is also pretty smooth

i have skunks too. if you just want to slam it, it's a good spring for that. but the ride comfort is going to be a lot worse then the eibachs.... but then again, comfort is subjective... and i got some real shitty roads out here.

also, depends on how low you want to go. if you're going to slam it, it's going to ride like crap no matter what. soft springs and you'll be riding the bump stops, stiff springs, and you'll break your teeth.

They will be harsh compared to the Eibachs.

Suspesions are a compromise between looks, ride quality and performance. You can't have all three.

I like the ride of skunk 2's I have Eibach sportline's on my DD civic and it rides very nice aswell. You could also consider using Koni yellow struts to lower your car with the pro kit.
