Bilstein's on Eibachs are firmer then the OE shocks on Eibachs and obviously eibachs on either OE or Bilstein struts would be firmer the OE springs.
I had KYB adjustables on the car for about 2 months before the Bilsteins and found these too hard even on the softest setting (with eibachs).
I find the Bilsteins are a good alrounder, and if they are good enough for Prodrive,their good enough for me. Also have the great quality, reliability and re-build ability of a top quality product.
This is the guy I got them from :
