Eibach Pro-kit springs, any good?

im torn with these and the h-sport springs... im lookin to match them to probably koni yellows, or more likely bilstein sp's... im just wondering are they linear or progressive... what is the rate of these springs... i think lowering the back more than the front can set the weight of the car back... isn't that a good thing?

thanks... i also want to ask if the bilsteins are worth the money over the konis

I called up Eibach once and talked to one of their techs...he spent about 30 min explaining their springs better than any info I ever got over the internet. You should give it a try I know they arent the same company, but I would assume that most companies would extend the same courstesy. I learned exact spring pressures, whey they choose to use those pressures, and also explained why some cars get progressive, some linear, and some a mix
