Progress Springs vs. SSC Springs

I live in an area that has some rough roads and I am thinking the progress springs may lower it a tad too much...what do you all think? Which do you recommend?

SSC springs dropped my car just right and are by far the best lowering springs I have ever rode on. They handle great, drop it just right, and are very reasonably priced. Check out my gallery for some pictures.

Honestly i NEVER scrape... Its all about the angles that you take, how you take them and how slow you go... If i think i will scrape, i just take it at an angle and go EXTRA slow... The bottom of my front lip is spotless.

This shot of your car next to a what looks to be stock height SS/SC shows a dramatic difference in height.

Love the look

Hmm, I didn't think they dropped that low, only H&Rs did (springs I'm talking about here).
What percent tint do you have? Car looks nice man.

Thats just what i was told when i ordered them... I can only get on finger between the fronts and the fender and almost two in the rear. Doesn't matter to me really bc i love where they sit now and how they ride... I have 15% all the way around... I'm takin it back after i get it back from the bodyshop to get 5% on the the rear 3.

I give a +1 for the SSC springs. They ride great and the car sits perfectly.
