Sure I'll give it a try;
IMO the stock springs are a bit too soft and the dampers too stiff for the springs. The Eibachs seem to be more forgiving on the initial compression but then stiffen somewhat quickly, they seem to dive and pitch less overall. The Koni's also seem to be progressive in the same way as the springs and that is a little easier initially and then stiffening quickly. The effect is such that you don't have that jolt when you catch the little bumps and divots in the road. But at the same time this new combination leans much less into/through the corners. The overall experience being more in control than stock but also more compliant at the same time.
I hope that is helpful, I also am having less worries about the air dam touching the tarmac with the Koni/Eibach combination even though it is lower. Interesting how they engineer these seemingly competitive characteristics into the car.
Regards, Z
