Spring Shock/strut combo

Alright heres the combination Im going to get, let me know what you think, KYB AGX shocks and Struts ans Eibach Pro-Kit. will that be a pretty good setup for mostly street and some autoX. BTW I will be aquiring all the usuall suspension stuff, LCAs, Panhard Bar, LCA relocation brackets, poly bushings..... I want to be about an inch lower and have a noticably higher spring rate (so I can tell they're there ya know!) I have pretty much a stock 92 Z with 245/50R16 tires (Falken ZE502s) ok I guess thats it thanx.

Skip the KYB's and get either Bilstein or Koni shocks.

"some autox" - I'd say get the Koni yellows.

EDIT - I have a prokit and yellows on my car as well as some other suspension stuff and first time out it was quicker around a 45 second autox course than some tarted up 4th gens one of which had 370 RWHP and was driven by a guy who competed regulary and designed the course we were on that day - I'd never done this before and my car has 160HP at the FW with luck; also, I went off the track on my first two runs so it was the suspension that made the car quick not me.
