How much does the spring install usually go for? I've heard some wild ranges.

Have to maybe guess this is very "subjective" territory unless we
can have empirical evidence from cars with exact tires/wheels and
exacting speeds and test track!

I see from Eibach's site they just did some sort of Honda "open-day"....
so I'm going to call a tech tomorrow and voice my concerns.

They were helpfull once when I bought my '01 GTI and had the dealership
install Eibachs as they had a deal where VW would warranty just like they
came OEM.
Driving the car home it felt slower...finally had to have a 3rd party do the install
as the dealership installed wrong!

As for $$$ for install....from my experience here in central Florida it's around
$200-$300 depending on suspension setup.

My vote would be Swift springs but they are not on your list. Take a look at those as well.

I bought my '06 with Neuspeed springs already on it...it was absolutely slammed (I'd estimate ~2") and the ride was horrible IMO, just skipped around on anything other than smooth surfaces (on perfect roads though it was amazing, like riding on rails)...I switched to Eibachs almost immediately (w/ UK alignment) and couldn't be happier...FWIW I use my S as a semi-daily-driver and have a 30 min. commute to work

Just throwing in my $0.02...

Can you share some experience with Swift springs?

I see they cost a bit more...and what I find interesting about their
sport-springs is they claim a .70" drop front..and a 1" drop in
the rear.

Do you know if these drops are correct?

The drop is right on the money and it feels just a touch firmer then stock. You can normally pick up a used set for right around 220ish in the for sale section.
