How are you coming on the parts? I think the eibach/bilstein set-up is the best for the LS,but I don't think bilstein makes them for the 1st gen LS,............If you did't return the upper spring mounts keep them and install them with the rest.

i've talked to a lot of people and it seems to be that Eibach is overall a better set of springs regardless of the shock...
PIcs will come soon, I'm installing/replacing the following:
Eibach springs, KYB strut mounts, OEM bumpers, OEM upper insulators, and OEM lower insulator, lower ball joints.. hopefully this will improve the overall handlign and ride comfort alot.. these insulators and bumpers are something owners tend to overlook but they are a must when driving a car with this many miles...
soon to come, rear bushings and daizen bushings when they are all available

When I was shopping for mine late last year, I called Eibach and was told they had a limited number in stock. The person relayed they did not have much demand for the UCF20/21 and he wasn't sure if production would continue. (This was back in November.) Long to short, I did get some so I'm looking forward to installing mine.
I wish they had some technical notes on the rates for the given compression. I am curious how different they are from the L-Tuned variants which I understand Eibach also winds.
