Default Intrax or Eibach

I recently bought the intrax lowering springs with illumina 2's and while I was removing the old suspension, I found that the current springs are eibach. Once I installed the springs it actually raised the car. Currently the engine is out so i am wondering if I should stay with the intrax, and once i install the engine it will lower it down or should i stick with the eibach which have a manufacture date of 1998. What do you guyz think?

If the engine is out, the car will sit quite a bit higher. I'd wait till its back in before making your decision

I used 2 have Intrax and after 5 months aprox. the car got really low and it was really jumpy...... in my opinion Intrax is shitty.
Now i have Eibach with Tokiko, way better than Intrax

Thanks for input guyz. I think Ill wait till the engine is back in before I make my decision. I was leaning towards the eibach though.
