Need spring experts; tein + eibach owners

I am finally ready to drop my G. Now i am debating between the eibachs and the s-techs. I have 2 10's in my trunk, so the rear is probably 100-120lbs heavier, noticable when i throw the car around. My question is, do i want to go with soft springs in the rear (teins), or stiffer in the rear (eibachs) because of the added weight? I have heard that the eibachs drop the car uneven, is this true? what do you guys recommend and if you got some pics, it would be appreciated, thx a lot.

i saw both the eibach and s-tech drops before deciding to get my own s-techs. to me the eibachs looked a bit lower in back and also lower overall. I liked the s-techs more because they tilted the car slightly forward and made it more aggressive. you might want these especially if you have the subs in the back. the eibachs are much stiffer and the s-techs feel about the same as stock, but i felt less body roll in the turns and more stable at high speeds. I heard too many horror stories about eibachs and my friend who has them on his g says that the ride is "horrible". im not one to judge since ive never actually sat in one. dont get me wrong, i liked the eibach drop when i first saw it, but i heard enough to convince me to get the teins instead.

heres a pic of mine (before rims- 2 finger gap front/1 finger gap back, after rims- 1 finger gap front/1 finger gap rear). mine havent settled completely as it hasnt even been a month yet.
