The LS1 Eibach Prokit front springs are 400 lb/in. The G2 fronts are 548 or so.
The rear springs in both kits are progressive, but the Eibach rears are significantly softer - comparable to stock rates but lower. The G2 rears are 180 to 2xx.
The G2s and Prokits may be comparable in ride height. At that height, though, you will certainly spend less time on the bumpstops with G2 springs.
IMHO the Eibach spring rates aren't bad, but the ride height is too low for the rate - they need to be either stiffer OR higher. Basically, as Mitch said earlier, the lower the car is, the stiffer the springs need to be.

I got a call from LG today. They told me I should have my G2 springs by Christmas .
I was # 5 or 6 btw.
edit- I got another call from LG today. Now the won't be here until the last week of Jan. Not a problem for me, I wasn't going to install them yet anyhow.

I'm glad that i switched out my stock springs for a friends LG G2 Super Springs. Free of charge.
I do need shocks though...i'm still on the stock shocks. I was thinking of doing revalved bilsteins but since Mitch autox's and knows his stuff i think i'll save some money and get bilstein hd's. I don't plan on autoxing with this car...only spirited driving and occassional drag racing at the tracks.

And while I appreciate the vote of confidence, I don't pretend to know everything. I listen and learn from a large cross section of credible people who have been down the road before me.

Guys, I would like to clarify some things on shipping and card charges-
The card have been charged. We stated that we would not charge them until we had met the 15 order limit. We have, 20 actually, and they were charged
Shipping- Not sure where the Christmas date came up, but we are looking at 4-6 weeks AFTER the holiday.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me
