Default free eibach springs... would you install them?

I have the chance to pick up some eibach pro-kit or sportline springs for free. I planned on getting coilovers sometime later this year hopefully, but now im faced with this offer. Should I even waste my time with them? Anyone have any reviews on either pair? Search only yielded topics from 2002 2003 or so... nothing recent. Would most likely try to keep my stock shocks (if possible). Opinions? thanx!

its free. yes, it is worth installing.
if you are going to keep it on for a long time, go with prokit, if not sportline for looks and more drop.
prokit has less drop therefore less stress to shocks/struts. unless you want a bouncy ride.

if you can do the install yourself then i would say do it! replace your setup when your stock shocks are worn. if you wont be doing the labor then saving the install money for when you get coilovers might be the better move.

all depends on a number of circumstances: current condition of your shocks, driving style, road conditions, amount of drop, spring rates.
