Maxspeed springs - who's got them?

And whats your thoughts on them? Im deciding whether or not to get Maxspeeds or Progress springs. Does the extra money spent for Progress actually make a difference?

i have maxspeeds..but i cut a coil off the front and rear.. rides a little stiff now.. but bearable..ride before cut as great for a lowered car..too bad it didnt look lowered to me. i drove a max with progress/agx a few days ago..liked it very much. firm and smooth. .but the drop was stil not good enough for me.. but better than the maxspeeds.. if i had to do it over.i would get progress over maxspeeds..

i just installed maxspeed + gr2s recently... still trying to get used to the new ride (aka going over bumps, parking, cornering etc.) handling definetly improved, wheel gap is decreased but it's still there. i don't mind though, my car doesn't handle like a boat anymore the price served it's function well. of course, the ride quality is more uncomfertable, but i can live with it. (along with random buzzin noise from my warpspeed y-pipe flex section at 2k-ish rpm )

How do you like your tein s springs? How much is the drop on those?

I've had my maxspeeds on for a week and a half. The ride is a little rougher but definitely bearable, handling is improved. It doesn't really look lowered to most people, only other maxima drivers would really notice it if you're going for looks. If I could do it again I'd probably go with Progress for the bit lower drop, but I was trying to save some money.

I got Maxspeeds put on less than a year ago. I like them so far - the ride is harsher but I was expecting that. I would like to go lower but can't with the driveways and stuff I drive over all the time. Here are a couple of pics:
