If they both lower the same amount and the SPT's are stiffer can they still go on stock struts? The guy I might buy SPT's from is selling for $150+shipping, cheapest I've seen Eibach Pro Kit is like $239 shipped from Gruppe-S.

I would get the SPT springs over the Eibach. Stiffer springs in the long run will match up better w/ the AGXs that you're planning on buying in the future. My cousin's car has SPT springs w/ stock struts for over 12K now and no problems so far. This is in a WRX, a heavier car so SPT springs working w/ stock struts would not be a problem.
