I've had the Eibach Prokit on my car for a few months now, have had no problems whatsoever, with just a slightly more bouncy ride.
I got tha work too. It is a little stiffer...but it makes the car look sooo much better.

Don't be deceived. It's a big difference from stock boss.
I agree w/ Hozay on this one. The difference in appearance might not be incredibly drastic, but the ride is. I recently threw the Hotchkis springs on my 04. It did take care of the wheel gap and drasticly improve the look of the car, but for how lowered it looks it feels like it is even lower whn you drive it. Not that I am complaining, for the Hotchkis springs are pretty sweet!

Most aftermarket parts are made for several applications to save production costs and maximize profit, so certain parts are usually made for a high volume application like a Civic but they can be used on other cars with little to no modification to the parts. Aftermarket parts for Mopars are usually notoriously poor because they were initially made for other brands, a prime example are the cams for the Mopar 383, 400, 413, 426 and 440 engines which are almost always Chevy ground cams that work in the Mopar engines, but have slightly different lobe seperation so the lifters aren't perfectly centered on each lobe causing odd premature wear. This could very easily be the case with the aftermarket springs for the SRT-4's and all the Mopar Performance parts are made specifically for each application only, so that's why you seldom hear complaints about the Mopar Performance stuff and all kinds of complaints about certain aftermarket parts.

The stock BFG's are great handling tires, but for seriously aggressive racing you need a tire with less tread depth. Tire Rack has info like that about most of their tires as well as wear and customers reviews, you should check them out even if you don't buy your tires from them. If you plan on seriously running the car then you should buy a couple different sets of wheels and tires so you can put the best ones on based on the weather and track conditions.
