I think the rear is going to settle a bit becuase it looks a little high. I was looking at the Progress Springs because I have previous experience with them and loved them. With Progress you don't get the real tight bouncy feel like you do with Eibachs. The 300C is a luxury car, not a ricer.

FYI, if you car has a bouncy feel it's the shocksthat are the problem not the springs. Shock dampen the spring. Most likely you were not riding in the performance zone of the shock thefore getting the bouncy ride. All shock have a zone that they work in the best (stock ride height), if you run too low or too high the shock won't act properly for dampening of the spring. That's why you need to have springs and shocks that work as a package. Also riding too low or too high will prematuray wear the shock out.
