Yeah, not an apples to apples comparison when the costs are vastly different.

I drive with the shocks at 9 clicks on the street. It’s pretty firm. The Ohlins do a nice job over small bumps not being to firm. But I’d say much stiffer under harsh bumps. When I had the HAS though it felt similar but would unload the back end over big bumps. I also had the car lowered about 1.5”/1.25”, so that really impacted the effectiveness of the stock shocks and the overall suspension travel. I’m not sure how much the Eibach lowers and how much more spring rate it adds. I think anything over an inch lowered with a HAS kit hurts the performance.

For me, I’m weighing track use heavier than street comfort so it works well. For street use with none or maybe a track day here or there, Ohlins probably isn’t the best option unless you are really going for that minimal fender gap look and want to keep good suspension travel.
