I have set my mind on KONI Yellows because of the superior reviews and I have wanted Eibach Pros forever because they are one of the best springs and they dont drop you to the ground. Now I know the FWD and AWD rear pearch is different because the AWD has more weight in the back the AWD perch is higher. Also the springs are a bit longer too. I am speaking stock shocks and springs of course. Now the Eibach has an AWD version of their Pro springs which compensate for this in the rear. The Koni's though dont have a AWD and FWD version just a universal. My question. Is the back of my car going to be lower then the front. Considering I do Auto X I acually want the rear as high as I can.
 
Yes, Konis are the same, FWD or AWD. If you plan on autocrossing stay well away from Eibach - they are way too soft and way too low, you will spend all your time bouncing off the bumpstops.

If you really must use ProKits, put the front springs in the rear - they are about right in terms of spring rate and ride height for use in the rear - and throw the rears in the dumpster. You can then use half a Ground Control kit on the front suspension with 500/550 springs.

Couple the above with a pair of RM Racing anti-roll bars and you'll have a good, basic suspension setup. Camber kits would be good too, of course (-2* front ~-1/1.5 rear)
