Haven't voted as I can't decide.
My ZT has Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs, and the RS has Koni dampers and springs and they are both lovely, so hard to choose realy.
Would say that the Konis are probably marginally better suited for competition applications over comfort though.

yes that used to be true mate. the springs that used to come with the kits (like 6 years ago+) were eibachs, then they were changed to be made by a company called Terra. they were terrible springs and even the staff at bilstein used to agree that they werent the best! still, they were loads better than stuff like g-max etc...
they now use springs that are made to the same pattern as the eibachs and seem a lot better, I found mine on the gsi to be a lot more comfortable but with lot more body roll. I now use Bilstein tarmac rally springs and they are great! on the other corsa I have the eibach springs and dapers and although they are a lot more comfortable and handle very well, they dont come close to the bilstein set-up on the gsi for balls out cornering.
