Default which coilovers help please

So like the title says which coilovers sleeves to go with?? I have eibach springs and shocks right now on my 95 GSR which is what was on the car when i got it. However its sportline springs which isnt dropped enough so im looking for a coilover. 1st off can i keep the eibach gas shocks are they compatable with the GC or skunk2 coilovers?? Also this is my daily driver and im not looking to slam it just take out the tire/fender gap so trying to find out about spring rates as i have heard you can get different rates for the GC coilovers. I really want to take out my gap + have a decent ride, i know it will never be a cadillac but as smooth as possible.
Also is it normal for eibachs for the front to sit higher than the back?? Ive checked the springs and sure enough they are installed right and fronts on the front and what not. Spring rate is the same for front and back. Just thought it weird. Thanks for any and all imput as im a noob at suspension setups.

Thanks ill be looking at them. So ive looked at the ground controls and they have all the shocks compatible with but the eibachs arent listed, not sure if theres a sub company that makes them or they just simply arent listed. Does anyone know if they are compatible??
Also im really considering the skunk2's, can someone give me a definante on ride quality when car dropped 2.0- 2.5 inch. I know it wont be awesome but this is my daily driver and dont want to bounce down the road. Any other suggestions are welcome. Im really trying to retain the eibach shocks if i can to save a few $$$$$.

You should find out what rates those shocks are rated for before you pick what sleeve kit your gonna buy.

A lot of people like to go with GC sleeves but your best bet is to search and call the companies for more info.
