Default Tokico D-Specs & Eibach Prokit.... bad idea????

I read somewhere on 3.8mustang that it's a waste of money to get the D-Specs with the Prokit because the spring rate on the Eibachs is too low to effectively use the entire adjustability of the D-Specs. Is this true?

I wish, but I just spent $250 on my Prokit and I'm very happy with it. I think it would be awesome to have adjustability with shocks/struts, but if it's a waste because I have the Prokit, I might get the HP series. However, I have read on the 4.6 modular forums of people having a Prokit and D-Specs and they love it.... so I dunno.

They can't be that much stiffer.

I got the Tokico HP's and the pro-kit. Handles great. If I had the extra money I would have gotten the Illuminas.... supposed to be a good ride.
