I've tokicos on the way and I want to get springs too. I was looking at Progress because they are cheap and are supposed to have a decent drop. Anyone have experience with these?

Cool, thanks for the input. I need to get my cardomain.com page updated. I like the way you lined your sidemarkers up with the door rub strips. How was lightningmotorsprts to deal with. Are they friendly and helpful and all that stuff?

Well, I had them, and I think

They screwed up when they made mine, cuz my car was barely dropped and it rode like hell. As soon as Sprint got done with the new production, I got those on my ride, couldn't love it more, 2.00 drop for $120...
My $0.02, but then I am biased and all towards sprint...

I,m not to happy with the way my front end looks about an inch lower than the rear. I have seen pictures of the Eibach version and they appear to be equal or maybe the front is a little higher than the rear but to me that seems a bit more natural. But my car sure looks alot better than it did when it was a 4X4.

I've decided to get Sprints after all. I'm getting them from Southwestautoworks for $144 shipped. I cant wait. I'll be going from stock 95 GXE suspension with 107000 miles on it to new tokicos and sprint springs. Now if I can just find some really light weight 16x7.5 or 16x8 rims...

...and a y-pipe
...and some new brake lines and pads
...and an RSB
...and some tint
...and a $hitload of body work
...and an all new paint job

...and a big a$$ pile of money to finance it all

I like mine. They improved handling and stability. The drop is one of the largest if compared to other brands. Also I like how the front has less gap than the back. Thats better for aero dynamics anyway. Finally you can't beat the price.
