Default SLP bilsteins/eibachs vs regular

So what are all the differences between the SLP bilstein shocks and the SLP eibach springs vs the regular bilsteins and regular eibachs other than the fact that the SLP versions cost more. Also, why would someone want to get one version over the other?

Thanks

The SLP/Bilsteins have less compression and more rebound built into them (the rears are the same though).

I'm not sure what you mean by "regular" Eibach spring. The SLP/Eibach springs are a progressive rate spring though.

i was checkin out tbyrne's site and under suspension they have two different sets of eibach springs. one was a cheaper set of LS1 eibachs and the other was a slightly more expensive set, SLP eibachs. It says that the slp version only creates a 1inch drop (as opposed to how many inches on the other set?). Is the ride height the only difference with these springs, cuz if it is im thinking of getting the cheaper LS1 set.

The SLP springs are progressive front and rear, whereas the others are linear rate in the front
