Go to the suspension section... there is a sticky that answers all of this

Tenzo's will drop you more. But you are really going to put a lot of strain on your stock shocks getting too low.

You should be able to find answers to most if not all of your questions in these old threads.

He has the SS/SC model, that's only 1"F and 1.3"R...there's a lot lower drops out there than that. For the 2.2L, then yes it is a big drop...

the drops are the same on the ss/sc...if you read you know the sportlines drop like 2" on the ls models

only real difference is ride quality...Eibach is better. Ive had both, and i prefer the Sportlines over the Progress. But for the money, Progress is a good buy also.

I understand the sportlines have 2 different drops for ss and ls models. I'm pretty sure the progress still drops the car a bit lower than the Sportlines on a SS/SC car...

As I said before; in having 2 different SS/SC's myself, one with Progress and one with Eibach; the Eibachs are better in all categories except for price. They cost more, but then again, how much is your ride quality worth??

Also, my little crew down here has 4 different types of springs. I have Eibach, one guy has Progress, one has Tenzo-R's, and one has SSC springs. The drop on the Eibach/Progress is identical; you can't tell any difference when you compare the two visually. The Tenzo's and the SSC's tend to offer more of a drop; and make the top of the front tires toe in a little.
