Eibachs don't drop your car more than 1.2 inches and Eibach's keep the ride smooth. That's all I know.

I don't think the Eibachs are necessarily better than Intrax, it all depends on your needs. Here are some quotes I found:

"The Intrax were more firm than I wanted, so I put the Eibachs back in. The ride in the front with the Intrax was too harsh for my taste. The Eibachs are very good as far as ride quality, but the car is not low enough."

"IVe got the Eibach pro-kit. the ride changes a little bit. its not that bad though. On the freeway, it rides great. city is a little rough, depending on what tires you have."

"The Eibachs have been great. 1 1/4" drop and no problems yet with the shocks."

"The Eibachs dropped Link's car EXACTLY the advertised 1.25": that's about 32mm for you Europeans. The Intrax lowered the car a bit more, bit the suspension travel under compression is a bit limited. The Eibachs will only bottom over HUGE dips. "

"I just think that my 1.8 or 1.9" Intrax (settled) is a little to aggressive for them, on the highway the car rides great, its just Brooklyn streets giving me a hard time!!"

intrax all the way.. my ride is just great,, i only had a LITTLE rub on the front left tire and its nothing even big. dropped my car down REALLY NICE, sitting right on top of the tires. ride is smooth, completely satisfied!!!! maybe its just me, but when i lower a car, i want it lowered (i hate that nasty gap)
