Are the Eibachs the best springs to use if you were to go to the track?

If your talking about running the 1/4 mile and such I have no comment. If your asking about tracking as in autocross and the like the answer is absolutely not, you have other choices that will yield much better track performance, springs that are NOT progressive.

Though the prokit's do offer higher spring rates and less progressive coils for a higher inital spirng rate vs the Tanabe's.

Eibach 350Z progressive springs 1”/1” drop* on 350Z
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 296/384 initial/final rear 316/421

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2” drop on 350Z
Spring rates in LBS 336/375 (only peak rates are published, softer initial progressive rates unknown)

For the track, I would only consider a spring that is NOT progressive (if we can even say that because to many of us, they are not stiff enough) spring choices would be,...

Tokico D-spec springs (linear)
375/375 1.2"/1.2" drop on 350Z

RSR 350Z linear springs .6”/.6” drop on 350Z
Spring rates in LBS 345/417

Hotchkis 350Z Linear springs .6”/.8” drop on 350Z
Spring rates in lbs 340/330

Mod: Eibach Pro-Kit

Pros: Great appearance, Sits about 1.2" lower then my car before. Nice smooth ride on surface streets and freeways...

Cons: Springs very soft so in heavy cornering especially in track conditions there is alot of body roll... so much that it is hard to predict when the car is actually going to bite into the corner...

Recomendation: I would recomend this spring for someone who wants a lower stance and smoother ride. But does not plan on seriously tracking the car to the limits.
