I'd use the Hal front springs with the Pro Kit rear if I were you. The Hal shocks allow some adjstability in ride height with the different settings. Just use the rear sprinsg. Thats what I'm doing for now and if I don't like the way the car hooks I'll just jerk the back springs out and put the stockers back in.

I have the Eibach pro kit springs and the HAL's on all 4 corners. I like the lowered look, I put 17" 2000 Corvette style skinnie 5 spokes on it and love it. I also have the FLP LT's on so ground clearance is tight. On the street I keep the HALS at 7 or 8 and at the track I set the fronts on 3, the left rear on 4 and the right rear on 5. I have absolutely no problems hooking up, last week end all my 60 ft times were between 1.682 and 1.733. If you go with the lowered set up you will have to use LCA relocation brackets, you shouldn't have any other problems.
