5KTQ Suspension Springs

[Ameer Antar]

What would you guys recommend for springs on a 5kT:

these at:  http://www.street-beat.com/aud50100200i.html

or Eibach's here: http://www.wolfsport.com/suspension/suspf.htm

the Eibach is only 1.0/.8 drop, while the other is 1.75/1.75 at 
street-beat. thanks.
