i dont think you can get a linear rate lowering spring, lowering springs are progressive rate, it is soft at the beginning of the compression to lower the car then it gets stiffer to compensate with the stock shocks travel. with that said, the spring rate of a progressive spring is attained at the maximum compression
coilover is linear rate because you always adjust ride height with the sleeve. spring rate is constant from full rebound to full compression.
but yeah a 10-kg progressive spring is good for stock shocks but might be bumpy.

k eibach got back to me....looks like it's just the pro-kit, so no custom spring rates. i suppose it can't hurt having the springs on for a bit if it doesn't degrade handling?

on OEM shocks it will degrade a bit - believe me. i bought springs for the S after reading thousands of "handling is great" threads here only to discover for myself that I was bouncing along the freeway like a Ford fiesta
