Those are the same as the Eibach ProKit.

Actually they are the ProKit made for Ford by Eibach.

I have the ford handling pack which include the springs. The springs have a very nice stance one, of the best I think and handle very well. Butdon't get the shocks from ford. They're very very stiff. Very uncomfortable, i'm seriously thinking of switching to the tokico's even though all my parts are new.

ok, thats cool. my next question would be; is it ok to run the stock shocks for a while until i can save some cash for new shocks/struts?

Yes, there are many people using those springs with stock shocks and struts.
The ride will get worse and worse. But you can live with it for a while.

The only downside, is that you'll pay twice for labor!

How are planning on installing the front springs without a spring compressor? Or do you have one?

Good point. I didn't get springs because of this, I have the stock 4x4 look with the tokio d specs. I don't really like the look of lowered cars and I wont be doing twisties in this car so they really aren't for me. But you will see a less forgiving ride due to the springs
