TRD Japan springs are 0.6" drop all around suitable for stock shocks. STI just released their BRZ sprigns last night which are also a 0.6" drop all around.

As mentioned, 1.5" drop Eibach Sportlines are not a perfect matchup for stock shocks. Eibach Pro-Kit 1" drop is more suitable. Shorter springs mean the shock stays slightly more compressed all the time so shorter = bad. I'd wait for aftermarket shocks suitable for lowering springs because those shocks won't be as tall as stock shocks when uncompressed.
