if you want to lower it, get eibachs, if you don't get moog replacements.

Well the way I look at it now is, my springs already sag quite a bit, so either way moog or eibach its going to get raised (i would go with the pro kit if i chose eibach).....so thats where I'm stuck. How good of a spring does moog make? I know lots of people run the eibachs but havent heard any comments on the moog springs.

Really? I got them last fall. Did you call them or looked it up on the site? If they sell Eibach products they will be able to get you those springs, as long as they are still made that is.

Try www.shox.com. My last quote from them was $220 for the pro kit. Keep in mind that the unique thing about the pro kit is they say it's a 'variable rate' spring, as opposed to a set rate (like 500lbs).
