The Road Magnets may be good springs, I just don't know enough about them to make a recommendation. Things I'd want to know before purchasing them would be who actually makes them, are they made in house, or are they contracted out to someone else? Also, what quality and testing standards does the manufacture have? It's not uncommon for cheaply wound springs to be way off the advertised spring rates and also big variances between springs ie: the spring on LF of your car could be 10-20% stiffer or softer than the one on the RF for example. That is why I wouldn't put just any spring on the car and it pays to do some homework first. Both Eibach and H&R have a long track record of making quality springs and have stringent quality control and testing standards so you couldn't go wrong with either of those. Also, if the manufacture can't give you spring rates I'd run away.
