Which springs with these shocks?

I've already got a set of 4 kyb agx's in the mail. Should I team them up with racing beat springs or suspention techniques? The RB springs have a 130f/80r spring rate which actually makes the back end more loose than stock. Stock rates are 95f/90r and the Suspention Tech springs are 120f/120r. Probably more dragging than autoxing will take place on these springs but I'd like to hear from drivers with these springs. Thanks

No Eibach's

Okay, the real question here (and sorry that I didn't post it sooner) is if I should get the Racing Beat springs or the Suspension Techniques' springs. Any ideas?

you would want the RBs for draging but the techniques for auto cross im not sure how much lower the techniqus will make the car but if you lower it to much you will void the warenty on your shocks so be carefull. personaly i have the ebachs and have nothing bad to say about them... i would not pick the intrex not a very good brand

I have RB all around. They feel good to me (daily driver on the highway). No complaints here.

Suspension techniques will offer a stiffer suspension, much better for autoX. I've had no personal experience but have actually heard people say that RB springs are nothing but a waste of money.
