Default MTM vs. Eibach

So, what is the difference between the Eibach Pro-kit and MTM springs for the S4? My natural tendency is to lean toward the MTM set-up, but is there a difference? Also, how are the stock shocks when used with the MTM springs? I know there are a few of you out there using that combo.

Thanks!

Steve

Default Spring rates are different.

MTM spring rates are 460 front/400 rear
ProKits spring rates are 360 f/ 270r

MTM springs work well with low mileage stock shocks...otherwise upgrade shocks.
ProKit is very close to stock ride with a 1 inch lower profile.
