Default Your thoughts on Eibach Kit

Thinking about geting the Eibach pro kit w/dumpers (part # 8567.780)What are your thoughts? Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Daily driver now, wife got the truck, 500-600 miles per month, like it low but not scraping low
Thought about coilovers (cheapest set I could find was Bilsteins from tirerack)but not sure if I want to go that route yet. 32000 miles and will be out of warranty end of Sept.

Had a chance to do some measuring today, dropped mine at the dealer and they had some "10's convertibles. New car hight:
F 26 5/8
R 27 3/8

Mine shows:
F 26 3/8
R 27 1/4

1/4 inch sagging front and 1/8 rear. 36000 miles. Most times we don't take this into account when ordering/replacing springs, but it's something to think about. The springs I am looking at, Eibach, they advertise 1.5" drop however in my case it will actually be 1 1/4 due to my sagging springs... something I didn't think before until today. I really like 1.5 lower than it is NOW, so that would have to be 24 7/8, or even 25 flat. which means coilovers... problem is it's a vert and don't want it to be too harsh. Is there anyone with an 06 vert that has Eibach springs to take some measurements? KNEWBUG sent me his height, he has an an '03 I want to see some 06 on, since ours are heavier... I know... Thanks though...
