Which drop kit is lower?

Which of the lowering kit drops the max down the lowest? Springs or coilovers don't matter I just want the lowest static drop on the market right now. I'll put air runners later when the baby gets older.

Might be the wrong place for this, however I happen to have a Pro Kit (Eibach) sitting in my office. I haven't decided about using it yet, however if your interested PM me. I called Stillen about possible returning them, and they said there was a 20% restocking fee (new and/or opened) total BS! So< i won't be sending it back to them. Cheers!

My Eibachs just came in yesterday but I'm gonna wait til I get my rims to put them all on together along with my Tint Covers for the Lights and Foglights like yours.

Now all i will need to complete my car is the Stillen Lip, the RC2 Intake and I'm done with doing anything else to my car.

Here's my list of Mods once it is all done:
STILLEN LIP (future)
RC2 Intake (future, very near)
Lightweight UDP
19 or 20 Inch Verde Kaos linky here: ( http://www.victoriatire.com/w_car_search_package.html )
STILLEN FSTB
STILLEN RSB
Tinted Headlight Covers
Tinted Foglight Covers
20% Tint all around
STILLEN Roof Top Spoiler
STILLEN Rear Decklid Spoiler
Pulse Plug Spark Plugs
K/N Drop In Filter
Headlights
Foglights

Well I currently have the prototype set of B&G suspension lowering springs on my max The production springs will be available Jan-Feb 2010 and the total drop will be approximately 1.5"/1.6" making it the lowest drop available, and also leveling the vehicle to damn near perfect. I actually forget if front or rear was the higher drop but all that matters is these springs leave only a 1mm difference between the front and the rear.

I never installed the kit. I have decided not to install it all together now. I suppose it isn't what I am going for on my daily driver anymore.

Question to all who installed the springs.... Did you use the stock struts with the springs? If so, how is the ride quality? Is wheel alignment necessary?

All I've heard is they are stiff over stock (obviously) and that you really have about 7 (real world) adjustments versus the 32 they market.

Reviews all over the internet if you search:
