Yea i know, but, i bought the shocks on ebay brand new for $400. I'm not looking for "balls out" race ready competion handeling, I'll deal with however the ride comfort is with the shocks how they're valved from the factory (can't be real bad b/c they're the same ones the come with springs from SLP). I'm not spending the money for they to be revalved, or spend the money for new shocks as these aren't even a yr old yet.

With that being said; what kind of springs should i be lookig at? Like what kind of spring rate? I want stiffer then stock, but i also want to feel like i have shocks on the car. lol.
i would check out hotchkiss springs. from my understanding, they are the closest spring rates to the eibachs and i heard awesome reviews about them. for what its worth, i would own a set of those had the strano springs never come out. ride height is pretty nice too, only about a quarter inch or so higher than my setup right now. look into them, they are definitely what you're looking for. heres a pic of the ride height comparison:
your old slp setup:

and the hotchkiss:
