Lightbulb Another Lowering Springs tread - insight please

I have been reading for close to a week about lowering springs on here, and on other forums. Every tread just turns into an argument. Im looking for a few simple answers.

I wanna go with springs that lower the car, but at the same time don't hurt the handling. Have been leaning toward Progress springs just looking for a bit of insight though. One more thing I would like to maybe do is go with a title thicker sidewall in the future as well.. Any "helpful insight" would be great..

if you wanna lower the car but don't hurt performance, go with SSC or pedders. Pedders don't give very much drop but they handle great. SSC drop more and handles about as good as stock. Pretty much all others won't handle as good.

SSC FTW!!! I love them there perfect. Low enough to close the ugly wheel well gap but not to low that you scrape

When people say SSC are almost as good as stock. Does that mean its a little bit of a softer ride?

It's a little bit stiffer. Gives you a better feel of the road is the way I would describe it.

SSC or Pedders.

SSC if you want moar low without a shitty ride
Pedders if you have the cash and want moar handling, minimal drop

My car on SSC/CM

I love my sportlines.. give the car a great look. If you want performance/handling however, I wouldnt do sportlines. Pedders handle MUCH better.
