The progress give the car a nice even drop I think 1.7 front 1.5 rear. What is the drop on the Tein H's?

i would honestly got for progress. the drop is nice, actually i just put mine in today, the finish is nice and the drop is even, esp with 45 profile wheels. i like the drop and the comfort is pretty damn nice. i was going to get HTechs to begin with but after seeing the progress, since they are lower, the HTech will not be that low and might look high still. the progress to me look like the should be stock. it's not even THAT low. looks PERFECT imo. i don' tthink HTech will be low enough.

i have progress now, and i like them fine. i just want a little more drop in the front cause there's about 1/2 an inch gap there. i think i'm going to put on the S Techs, my rear show stay about the same with the system, but my front should be perfect for me.

I have heard good things about both, but rode in a car with h-techs and it was nice.

Try doing a search for more answers if ya need em.... I recall at least a couple other threads about this.... instructions for how to use the web search are in the Stickies...

I have Progress springs and I like em... handling has been great... comfort has been very decent (they don't ride like stock, but its very tolerable.... I have Tokico HP struts), and the drop looks really good, to me....

I've also heard great things about H-Techs and they are my next choice should I decide to get rid of the Progress....
