I was looking at these before I bought my Spool springs. Both advertise a 2" drop front & rear.

If you watch any racing (road racing and some ralleye) in the UK then you will know who the big guys are... names like Progress, Leda, H&R and others. Progress and Leda are the best springs and suspension folks in my books, and H&R come in close second!

And so no one has heard of TEIN? One of if not the best suspension company from the JDM market. In addition to Eibach who has been one of if not the leading name in the world wide market for a while.
I like Eibach for most protege applications Because it has one of the least drop depths, being 1.4 in the front and 1.2 in the back (mp5) as there is a point where performance will suffer or stop being benefited from a lowered stance. Lowering the CG is the point, not scraping on the ground.
And lastly alot of people over look the spring rates of the sets they are buying and simply go by the actual drop numbers. Spring rate is just as important.
