Quick spring question

Are SSC the only springs that keep the factory raked stance?
I like the rear a little higher.
I was thinkin those or progress.
Also I haven't been able to find spring rates on the SSC's.
I want something that wont be bouncy. Something close to the SS/TC rates.

pedders are the best given your stated desire.

i have ssc's and i love them.. gives u a nice drop.. and they have the stock spring rate.. rides just like stock when it comes to feel.. u will be very satisfied with them.. also 200 bux less than the pedders almost.. they are 170 on zzp's site.. great price and great ride.. i would sway u that direction

the performance of them are strong as well

I know but i can't justify spending that much on the car given how long I plan on owning it.

I can't find them anywhere. Most people that have them say they are similar to stock SS/TC.

My other question though was are they the only one's that keep the back higher than the front?

well damn. now i'm back to my ssc v progress dilema
says stock rate...
now do they mean stock SS/SC? SS/TC? 2.4? 2.2?

maybe i'll flip a coin. with all the review for both it's harder than hell to compare them.

I would say go for the SSC's... they are a little cheaper than the rest and they are great on the car. I've had mine for a good time now and I can't complain.... nice drop, nice feel, and good performance.... SSC's got my vote.. good luck tho

aren't they the same springs? should lower the Redline more if it's higher to begin with.
I really can't decide between SSC and Progress. I think I might just put up a wanted ad and go with whichever I get offered first. They seem to be pretty equal in all aspects.
