The progress springs lower your car just enough not to kill your stock shocks. That is what I will be getting. I don't think any problems so far.

should be different drop amounts. some start off at 1.2 inch drop and go all the way down to (i should say) 1.9 inch drop. just depends on the company you go with.

I think the eibachs drop just a tad farther, but have a firmer ride.

As for different drops looking good/bad, you have to take the wheel/tire combo into consideration. Big rubber (like on stock wheels) makes a drop look less significant.

well, i have tein springs.. they are nice but the ride is ok ... you would be much better off spending the 800 bucks to get the coilover kit. even though its not adjustable but handles like a dream, i got my tein springs shipped for 120.. you can get them off ebay i saw some guy selling them brand new for like 90 shipped
