stay where the eibachs are at..... as far as i know, springs control the downforce rate, shocks control the springs return rate (how fast the car goes back up) also the shocks help stabilize it... so without gettin more technical, the car should stay at the current height with kyb shocks made for your vehicle.

You pretty much said it.
I would try and get a shock that is adjustable, or get one that measure correctly for the new ride height. You will want a shorter strut/shock so you don't blow the taller ones out sooner.

you better get the new shocks soon. your stock ones will blow within a couple months, depending on how much you drive the car. i would recommend some kyb agx, if you have some $$.
