I'm currently on the stock ES 16" wheels with 205/50 tires.
Would Eibach Pro-Kit fit on my car? Or should I play it safe and get the Mazdaspeed Springs?

I don't want/need a massive drop, but at the same time I don't want a 4x4 look on my car so stock springs are out of the question. I just need to fit some proper new springs because the previous owner F'ed 'em up.

either one is great. you can come across some cheap sets of mazdaspeed racing beat springs in the for sale thread for a great cost.
 
I went with the Mazdaspeed springs. They gave me a slightly bigger wheel gap on the fronts than on the rear, but i'm ok with it. The car handles so much better now, typical understeer but it's not as nervous as it was before and it feels planted. I barely even brake for bends now. After 3k miles the springs settled down and the ride became a lot more comfortable.
