Just put stock suspension back in, 1 year later...

Wow, am I sorry I did. I'd had Eibach Pro Kit installed on an '09 AWD and decided to go back to stock for the winter. Yes, I got stuck multiple times on snow beds last year; the ride height is too low for snow over several inches high. Anyway... how I miss the Eibach already! The car looks terrible... welcome back 4 finger wheel gap, body roll, and SUV-like ride height. Baffles me that a car marketed as sport-luxury has such a poorly designed stock suspension. Re Eibachs weren't perfect - I would have liked a more even drop with less rear sag, and an overall lesser drop by about 0.25". I've been out of the loop for at least a year- are there better options than Eibach nowadays, for those not willing to spend $1000+ on coilovers? I think I came across a thread stating that Eibach had developed springs specifically for the AWD finally? How do these compare with sedan springs when used for AWD?
