#17578, "Should i do a 1.2 or a 1.5"


          

I have a blitz kit with 205-40-17's and was trying to figure out what would look the best,have the better ride quality and not be to low that I scrap on everyting.So my question is should i go with 1.2 prokit springs or 1.5 progress spring?

the 1.2 prokits give you a pretty large drop without sacrificing ride quality. don't know much about the progress springs. i beleive they're about the same.

hhmmmmm grind your bumper or not? it would look good to drop 1.5 but you'll scrap like hell everywhere.

I'm on a 2" drop and I dont scrape everywhere... rarely do I scrape, only if I'm not paying attention and I don't get at the incline with an angle.

Sportlines (1.6) with a stock bumper....under part of front is nearly destroyed. It looks hella good but I'm switching to prokits.

Guys correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the 1.2" settle more to like 1.6" cause my friend has them on his car with stock shock and I have the Neuspeed sport 1.4" drop and they settled more at like 1.7". So either spring will settle at the same height. 1.2 and 1.5 is about the same thing any way .3 inches won't be noticable anyway. I have heard though that prokits and eibachs in general are not prone to sagging whereas I have read some posts in the past about the progress springs sagging maybe after 2 yrs or evern less
