Eibach Pro-Kit/Sportlines Spring Rate

Does anybody know what the average spring rate is front & back for an Eibach Pro-Kit? & what about Sportlines?

I plan to get H&R but I want to have a basis on which to compare the spring rates on H&Rs website to the 2" lowering Eibach Sportlines I had on my 2K GT. I never had problems w/ them sagging & I romped on the gas @ every stop light for over 2 years w/ them in the car.

Springs

Eibachs do not sag! All springs when new will take about 3-4 days to "settle".Ihave been doing this for about 30yrs. and they all do it. some take longer,some shorter. My Eibach pro kit is now 4yrs.old and is the same height as when they settled in. Get a ford racing cat.look for the "F" springs.This is the "pro-kit" the spring rates are printed out. The pro kit + IMO is the best bang for the buck. These German guys make most of everyone's springs anyway. Dont be fooled,do some homework.
Good luck, John

Clunking noise as in what happens when some portion of your A/C hits the firewall after the line swells due to turning on the A/C or defroster & Ford not putting something behind it so you wouldn't hear it in you car kind of clunking?

How can you posssibly make a statement like that if you don't have first hand experience with eibach's. What you hear isn't always fact. Anyway the spring rates for eibachs are:
pro kit-coupe=460-570 fr, 200-250 rear
pro kit-vert= 460-570 fr, 170-310 rear
sportlines-660 fr, 260 rear
race-700-850 fr, 200-260 rear
