[V8] Spring GB -- Which brand then?

Now my head really hurts.

With the H&R choices defined as 29921 for V8/urS/200 or 29800 for 200, and there being two or three Eibach choices (albeit quite ambiguous), I wonder if the varying tastes we have in ride height and comfort would make it more logical to seek a group buy w/ Eibach as Allan mentioned?

Or with Eibach, is it way too likely people would end up unsatisfied (ride height, ride level, stiffness, etc.) due to getting the wrong part number?   At this point, I'm still not clear on what my "correct" Eibach PNs choice should be and what subsequent rear shock modification would needed, except that (a) some modification will likely need to be made either up or down, and (b) the car will sit pretty low either way.

For me, the ideal setup would lower 1.3"/1.0" F/R and get progressively stiffer as force increases.   If I have to shim/machine the rears to get there, fine.  At this point I'm thinking the extra $$ on the H&Rs would be worth it to not have to de-code US or German eibach part numbers or have to rely on the competence/experience/familiarity of the distributor.   But I'm not in love with H&R, and if theres' an Eibach kit that will suffice, I'm all for it.

Or is this too subjective a modification that a GB should be avoided all together?  This is certainly more complex a GB than euro lights or white-faced gauges... Thank you all for the input.
