Default Eibachs better designed for AP1 than AP2?

I've been doing a lot of searching on past topics regarding Eibachs, and I've noticed a few people have mentioned that the springs were first manufactured for the AP1, and then they have not been adjusted for the AP2 setup even though they will still fit. Is there a lot of truth to that (the Eibachs don't work as well for the AP2's because of spring rates and so on....)?
If that's a problem, are there other springs that give the same drop as Eibachs along with the stock feeling ride, etc. for the AP2?

Ya I remember him making a comment similar to that, but I know some others in different threads (can't find them now) had gone into more detail on it (from what I can remember). If it REALLY does make a difference though for the AP2, that kind of sucks!!

How do the Swift spring rates compare to the Eibachs? (the Eibachs seem pretty compatible w/ the stock springs) I haven't seen/heard anything on that brand

AFIK AP1 and AP2 suspension is exactly the same as far as hardware.

The differences are in the spring rate, etc.
