Whiteline lowering springs

Just saw Whiteline recently put these out. I know they make great suspension parts. Just wondering if anyone has tried them. They have similar spring rates to swift just a touch lower of a drop in the front.

Sounds good. Haven't seen pics of the drop with these.

I'm really glad I chose these. The drop is honestly perfect. Everything settled completely even between all 4 springs. The drop is about 1.5" in front and 1" in the back. I would also say the car feels and handles soo much better over stock, without losing much of the stock ride comfort. I will post pics in a few days. It's been raining here and she's dirty

No they aren't stiff at all. Just slightly more than stock.

Thought I'd update my original post. After just a short year, the springs began collapsing on themselves. Ride quality became awful, and worst I constantly had to retighten the top hat on my struts to counter the ever growing sag. Got to the point where I replaced my struts, but it turned out it was just these junk springs. I really wanted to like these, but whiteline completely blew it on this one. Save a little more money and go with Swift!

No the rears seemed to hold up fine. Problem was the front's sagged so much that the struts top hats would loosen over time. Actually broke one strut because I tightened it past the bottom of the threads. Replaced the strut with new and same thing happened
