I asked myself this question 3 months ago, when I wanted to lower mine...
I came to the conclusion, I dont want to spend hundreds of pounds for the Eibach PRO KIT only to then decide the car doesnt look lowered much more than standard, and wish I went for the lower Eibach Sportlines. So, I did go with the Sportline Kit, and am VERY happy I did.
The car looks very nicely lowered, sits perfectly (doesnt look extreme or stupidly low) - ride is firm and better than before - still comfortably drive over road humps / multi-story car parks. very happy customer!

From the thread title, I'd guess the intention is for lowering/looks rather than making an overly-firm pre-FL FR ride quality more bearable? If I'm guessing right, I'd agree that the consensus seems to be Sportlines are best suited.
I put Eibach Pro Kit on my FR because I was advised that they were better suited to the Koni FSD dampers I wanted, but then my aim was for an improved ride quality rather than lowering per se.

I was quite happy with the firm "bouncy" ride that I had with my 'standard' FR.
Upgrading to Sportlines was initially to enhance / improve handling (stick to the road better).
In doing so Im also "mildly impressed" with the meaner, sportier stance!
This is something i'm very stuck on aswell.
I really like the drop the sportlines give but i don't want the ride any firmer than it is as standard. If the ride was to stay much the same then that would be fine. The way the car rides feels as if it is already lowered.
I know they seem to be very popular amongst mk2 Leon owners so i'm thinking they must be ok!

P.I lowering springs aboutr £145 ,35 to 45 mm drop i went for the 35mm and boy does she look low.....
Didn't make that much difference to my ride quality and that's with the Sportlines & Eibach ARB's fitted on standard shocks on a FL FR !
