It all depends,what's exactly,your looking for.!
A nice drop and softer ride?Get the Neuspeed springs.
Koni Yellow,are not springs,but shocks;at "Full soft"they can be as SOFT as OEM,but anything above that will be more FIRM than OEM.

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit/Koni combo and love it. The drop leaves about 1.5 finger gap in the front and less than 1 finger for the back. No rubbing (that sounds dirty - haha).

The adjustment on the Konis allows you to dial in the feel you want.

I get compliments from other S2K owners quite often.

Did you experience any settling or sagging with the Eibach's? Also, why does Hockey's look considerably lower than wanabe's?

Yes some settling may occur, so it is best to wait a week or so after the install before getting an alignment. This is true of any suspension change.

AND

The different rim/tire combos make a difference (as Emil stated).

neuspeed is a nice drop and very comfy ride for a daily driver.

im leaning towards either the eibachs, tein S techs, or KG/MM. I just dont want my car super slammed cause its just a PITA to drive around dodging everything. I already ordered my Koni yellows, so im just wondering what would be a nice match with it. Since im going for a softer ride, the springs i chose all seem to fall in the catagory. With the Koni Yellows and any of the springs above, it should feel like stock right?

Any other springs out there is missed out?
