Eibach ProKit will lower your S13 about 1" at most. Sure Eibach claims 1.8F/1.6R but that is nonsense (the Eibach brochure even says 1").
As for spring rates, they are slightly stiffer than stock, but the difference is not noticeable unless you've been driving you car for years on end, you are extra sensitive to body roll, and you drive hard and competitively around corners and such.
I drove my car for a year on stock springs and when I installed my ProKit springs, my driving habits did not change and there was zero loss in ride quality. However, the handling greatly improved, as I would note this as a night and day difference in the amount of body roll. The car lowered an inch, which isnt most appealing considering how big S13 wheel gaps are, but I am very satisfied with this setup. It is ideal for daily drivers.
Currently on Tokico HP and Eibach ProKit.
