You are referring to the Eibach Pro Kit. The Sportlines drop 1.8 F and R

should b fine but i would use gr-2 shocks at minimum or some kind of aftermarket that will handle other than stock ride height for reliability and longevity and keep the old ones around just in case or sell for a few extra dollhairs

Running sportlines with kyb gr-2's on my ek and it rides pretty nice. Been installed since the beginning of summer and the shocks still feel stiff.

Are they low mileage shocks? If not, it would be a pain to put the suspension together and having to take them out again to replace shocks.
