Eibach vs PSS9's?

Would you guys go with the Eibach pro kit and koni yellows or Bilstein Pss9's if price was equal. I'll mainly use it for street use..

Let me clarify.. I was gonna buy eibach pro kit and Komi yellows but may be able to get a set of used pss9's for around the same price. Which is a better set up?

If you track your car def go with pss9 otherwise it's an overkill for dd.

Thanks for the reply. Overkill in what way? The price will be the same, so are you talking about the ride? Is it harsh?

The ride would be a bit harder and you may never use the adjustable component of the pss9 plus it's better to buy new struts rather than used ones. Depending how much the pss9 were used but you won't get much life from them than new struts
