suspension question again

Has anyone heard of progress sports lowering springs. Apparently, they are progressive springs and give it a 2.2 inch drop front and back, the price is great, but i am really skeptical.

I've seen a trix on matrixowners.com with progress springs, the drop is really good and as far as the pro-kit springs, it's a slight drop 1.2" all around. A friend of mine had those and he loved it .

Progress slams pretty low. It's probably the lowest out of all the springs. Sure, they'll work w/ stock shocks but don't expect them to last very long.

The Eibach Prokit's are on the other end of the lowering spectrum...they lower the least. Very conservative drop. BTW, The Prokit's are rebadged as TRD Springs and marked up and sold by Toyota. They're literally the same springs.

awesome, thats something really good to hear. I know its a pretty low drop, but i dont want to sacrafice daily driving because I drive my car everyday, yet i love to take it through the turns on weekends. if there are other springs out there that give a lower drop, but doesnt sacrafice ride quality, too much, and it doesnt create a higher risk of blowing out my stock shocks, i am all ears to other suggestions.

I have some DropZone springs they drop 2 inches. They are a pretty good fide but for a daily friver I am not so sure. I am currently waiting on a set of Tein h Techs (luxury master) they will drop 1.7 front and 1.5 rear. I too am concerned about the struts and that is the main reason for the switch.
