when i took my car to get them put in they put the rear stock springs beside the megan springs and the megan springs were 3 in taller they had to take off 1 1/2 coils but since i cut them megan wouldent send me another.....oh well ......i've rode on them about 2 days and yeah their bouncy we'll see in a couple of weeks how i like them when they settle....

yea teh rear was taller than the stock ones but they compressed a whole buch due to the weight of the car.. it sagged so much that my exhaust would scrape everything... and teh front of mine did not look like ur drop.. it looked more like a trd...

in the end my car looked like trd in front and lower than stechs in back... the front never lowered and the rear only got lower!... thats why i switched

sounds to me like you definitely will

shoddy ricers cut springs, not too good of an idea, usually they engineer the springs to a certain coil length for a reason, even if it is bad engineering, or build quality, or material quality or any combination thereof, they're still made a certain way because whoever designed them believed that was the right idea. Not to prod, but they are the designers, I think they may just have a leg-up on your run-of-the-mill performance shop in the intellect department on the products.
