The 6112 is getting you a digressively valved steel shock body/piston that's ~2.6" in diameter, as well as a remote reservoir rear with the 5160. It doesn't get you rear springs, a threaded body (still adjustable height, just with JC clips.)
From the looks of it, the Eibach kit gets you a smaller ~1.8", but aluminum, shock body/piston, rear springs with their load leveling capability, and "variable force valving," whatever that means.
Maybe someone from Eibach could chime in with some more technical details, but from what I'm seeing, these shocks are smaller than similarly priced kits (6112/5160, Fox 2.0, Dobinson's IMR, etc) but at least come with rear springs, which other kits don't (except Dobinson's.)
