KYB shocks with Eibach Pro springs??

Hey fellas im getting some Eibach pro kit springs for the rear of my Z, im looking for some new shocks to go with them. Saw these adjustable shocks at rockauto, they are KYB AGX part #743019 for $94. Just wondering if these will be good enough to handle the new springs. Car is for weekend/occasional drag use, its not my daily driver, just for fun and project. Im not too versed on spring loads, rebound/dampening correlation between shocks and springs so would appreciate some feedback and suggestions. If these shocks wouldnt work, what would? Thanks

Re: KYB shocks with Eibach Pro springs??

I ran the Pro-Kit with QA1 adjustable shocks, and the results were terrible. The back end had a "chop" that reminded me of a slammed S10 pickup riding directly on the rear axle. I doubt the KYB shocks are even close to the QA1's in quality.

Get correctly matched lowering springs and shocks from a source like this:
