Default Eibach Pro-Kit Springs ???

Are the Pro-Kit the sport springs for Eibach...

What I'm trying to ask is .. H&R has SPORT springs and RACE springs...

I want Eibach's equivalent to the H&R Sport Springs... and I'm thinking that that is the Eibach Pro-Kit... can anyone verify this, I don't wanna make a mistake...

Also I want Bilstein Shocks (is there an exact type of Bilstein Shocks) or is that it... just Bilstein Shocks ?

Default IIRC the pro kit is slightly higher than the H&R sport..

I would get the sport with Bilstein shocks. They are just called Bilstein.

Meaning ??? (H&amp;R Sport = less rough than the Eibachs, while they lower is more ?)

Let me restate a bit: I don't want to be the lowest and the roughest, just wanna get rid of some gap

Default Not sure: I thought sport package lowered .75 inches, while Pro-Kit says 1.2 (more)

I chose Eibach, cause they use that on sport package... but now H&amp;R Sport sounds possible too I guess ...

I'm confused ???

Default My dealer always uses H&R Sports when lowering (more)...

It'd be cheaper maybe to get them elsewhere and then just use the dealer to insall...

Unless they give me lowered labor rate, since I'd buy the parts from them... I'm gonna look into that Monday (I just wanna know which I'm going with by then)...

So far I have found:
H&amp;R Sport Springs for $239
Eibach Pro-Kit for $264
(not a big enough diff, to sway either way)
Bilstein Shocks for $500
