slp bilsteins/eibach drop?

what would be an estimate drop with the slp eibach/bilstein combo on a 95 firebird. and i know for pro kits the lt1 springs are better than ls1 version because of them not having sag issues. would this count for the slp spec ones too? thanks.

I'm using an Eibach pro-kit spring set with the SLP re-valved Bilstein shocks, however I bought them seperately, and at different times. My car dropped the 1.25"-1.5" that Eibach stated they do.

As a side note, as far as I know the difference between the LT-1 springs and the LS-1 springs is a different spring rate to compensate for the difference in the weight of the engines. The LS-1 is all aluminum, whereas the LT-1 block is iron, so it's somewhat heavier. I suppose there could be other issues, but I'm not aware of them....
