Eibach makes a set for the rear only. I think there are a few other spring companies that also make them for the rear only? I do believe that the eibach rear only set is the same rear spring as the complete set, it just levels out the cruiser. purplept is selling a complete set for cheap and I believe there are several other sets also for sale, check the classified section. Verify with eibach if they are the same spring, but I am pretty sure they are.

Now that you mention it ptgtcb, I just read a post from Crewzin that went with
the Eibachs. He said its basically the same as OEM but of course lowered and
handles/feels the same.

Once again I will relate my experience with changing just the rears. I put on the rears one afternoona and ran out of time/daylight to do the fronts. I drove it that night with the rears only on. It felt really "squirrely" with the 2 different rated springs front and rear. I put the fronts on the next day. You really should match springs. Even though Eibachs are progressive, they are still stiffer than stock.

Maybe the rear set from eibach is matched to the stock front and not the same as the front and rear set. The only thing is that the ride (compared to stock) sure feels the same to me, which tells me that the spring rate is very close? As I posted before I would contact eibach or what ever company and find out.
I do agree that you should match the springs!
