Default Eibach lowering kit

Has anybody had experience with these? They consist of front coil springs and rear shackles and hangers. Just seen them on the stylinconcepts website and was wondering if they were any good.

I would like to know also. What kit are you thinking of going with leo?
I've seen many trucks with a 2/4 drop and it looks like they are still leaning forward. So instead of going with the Hotchkis 2/4 kit, I would go with Eibach 1" spring in front and 4" Hotchkis in back so it looks level, not to mention my Denali bumper would scrape everywhere

Chingon - I was thinking of going with the whole kit. From the stylinconcepts website, the front will be dropped 2.5" and the rear 4.25". I think that is going to still have the rear to front lean but that is okay.
But then again they also have the other coils that will drop my truck a 1.5" in the front and if used with the 4.25" drop in the rear might give it that leveled look.

That's another concern of mine. IF the Hotchkis setup gives me the lean, will I be sacrificing any performance by going with the Eibach coils so that it is level?
If nobody knows then I guess I would be willing to compare the 2, get pics, etc. I could just sell em or if either company has a return policy

Progressive rate is the spring rate is so that the springs dont just lower... they stiffen and have the correct rebound etc..

I just talked to a guy at eibach and he said their coils were linear rated for the trucks. He said it depended on the vehicle if they were progressive or linear. What is the difference and is the linear better for a truck than progressive. What are hotchkis linear or progressive. I was also interested in these but would like to find this out first.
