Lowering TIEN, EIBACH, PROGRESS pic request

Looking to lower my car, trying to decide between the three brands, I know this subject has been discussed, but I would like to see some pictures of these springs installed to help me decide.

If you have a pic of your car post up with brand and current wheel set-up with tires

Tien S-tech's, have had them for about 20K miles and not had a problem. I would recommend them!

What about Swift springs? I bought a set last September and am really impressed with them. There are a few vendors on here that carry them.

Here's a pic of my car with them on. (I have RA struts as well, so the drop will be the same for you.) Not the best pic, but it's the best I have right now.

I'm extremely happy with the ride. I just checked the invoice, and it shows the part number to be 4M903. As for height, I'd say the fenders sit roughly .75"-1" above the tires? I didn't measure the exact amount of the drop, but then again, I have an OZ. When I bought the springs I bought the RA spec KYBs to go with them so I have nothing to compare it to.

I wish I could compare them to the Tein S-Techs, but I had those on a few years back, and have had 3 different coilovers on since then, so I can't remember how the S-techs felt.

Here's my car on Progress springs, stock struts and wheels, BFG KDW2 tires in stock size:



I'm quite happy with the setup, with the Progress rear sway bar added to the mix.
