The Eibach is much thicker than I first thought, thanks for the numbers.
The spring rates for the Hotchkis rear are:
930, 1160, 1490 lbs/in (based on the 28.5mm bar)
+70, 110, 170% stiffer than stock 370Z
The Eibach rear sounds crazy stiff if their numbers are accurate.

Really, it's driver preference, most of us here can't drive the car to its capable limits and Whiteline, Eibach, or other won't "turn" us into a pro.

I think the Eibach bars are meant to match with their springs as well. Not sure though.
