Default rear lowering coil ?

Hey guys, I just got an escalade, and I was looking to lower it a little and I was wondering if anyone knew what the spring rates were on the lowering springs that were out there? Basically I have seen Eibach, McGaughys, and Hotchkis make springs. If anyone knows what their spring rates are or even which is the stiffest, that would help too. Basically I hate the body roll these SUVs have and I want the stiffest spring I can put back there for when I tow and to reduce body roll
thanks

McGaughys gets my vote....they have the most complete kit I've seen for the SUV's

Yeah, I like Mcgaughys stuff, I run some of their stuff on my SS. Im probably going to mix and match my kit, mcgaughys spindle and shock extenders, either their coil or eibachs, whichever offers the higher spring rate. Does anyone know? thanks

Spring rates aren't as important as spring design....talk to the different companies and tell them what you are looking for and they should be able to recommend a spring solution for you
