i have them, and i got them from tirerack.com, they lowered my car about 1.8' in the back and 1.5' in the front. They also give you alot better handling, the ride will be much rougher though. Also i wouldnt get any lowering springs that lower your car past 2' because i can't even get a jack under there without using boards under my wheels and its a pain also my front bumper cant go over parking curbs so i have to be careful about that.

Ride quality is another reason I'm going for coilovers, b/c you don't sacrifice as much of your ride quality as just getting lowering springs would.

Thats not always true, it depends on how you have them set, remember that coilovers are for pure performance not comfort...

As for the Eibachs, I do have them installed on stock struts but my stock struts arent doing so great if you know what I mean (i have my eyes on some Tokico HP blues for the spring). The ride quality is still "descent"...its not comfortable but its not unbearable by any means, so its well within acceptable. The only time you really notice things is on crap *** roads, but on any smoothish road you wont notice a big difference. You will notice a nice increase in your cars handling though but not as much as with other upgrades or if you have other stuff installed. On my car the front is lowered more than the rear, I would say 1.75" front drop and around 1.5"-1.6" raer drop...so on mine the front looks amazing and the rear is still a little high but much better over stock. I would recomend the Eibachs hands down over any other spring kit on the market.
