my progress springs are a decent drop, not crazy like SSC springs (or better yet coil overs)
And honestly the ride difference around the city was not that noticeable. (as far as bad ride conditions)
It helps your weight transfer when you take a launch, thats a fact.

I am sure dustin and myself could do it for you.
and a spring compressor you can rent for cheap.
the rears honestly take 30 mins. super easy. the fronts are a little more complicated. You have to drop the entire strut

I am very tempted. However here are my concerns after researching a bit.
1. I would need and alignment after to correct the camber: $50-$100
2. My front struts are original and have small leaks so if I am lowering the car I might as well replace them with at least stock if not aftermarket like KONi Yellows: $200 - $400
3 So the nice springs for $100 deal will end up costing me up to $600 for a few bills more I could get a half decent coil over set up.
Arrg decisions decisions, Gonna pass on them. Dustin thier all yours if you want them.

Also with a coilover setup you still need to alingment after.
Also i never had a alingment on mine when it was lowered, it was out a bit not by much. i should have dont get me wrong but i did not.
and a camber kit is not needed.
