Do you mean the sportline springs? They are really low and soft in the front. I wouldn't get them. The prokit is a firmer 400lb front spring and works well with it's lowering height.
On shocks, see my post here:

Get away? Revalves are done for cases like this, where someone has springs.... We change the valving to deal with the springs. Or you can run Koni's.
BTW, we also sell springs (Eibach among them) too. And PHB's, and an adjustable one would be wise given the drop of those springs--so you re-center your axle, not to mention it keeps the axle better located, which gives better feel and stability too.

I have the Strano revalved Bilsteins with the Eibach Pro-kit. The handling is way better than stock but the rear end sits a little low with the springs in the back. If I were to do it again I would get the Koni SA shocks with the Strano springs.

Most autoparts stores carry them. The aluminum ones work best, but the rubber ones will also do, but you have to use more of them as they compress more easily.
You just lift the back of the car and let the spring stretch out, slip them into place 180* apart from each other and on the same coil and then lower the car. The tension keeps them in place.

Those are a band-aid that take working travel from the spring. Not a replacement for a correct spring.

about 1.2" or so. Most cars end up about 26" front, 26-3/4" rear ground to fender height on stock diameter tires. Not all cars are the same, and I'm not going to guarantee exactly that height, but we've been very consistant.
