What's the difference in '' between springs?
 
I see that a lot of springs have different '' in the front and the rear when
you want to drop your car. For example...

Progress Sport's are F 1.7'' and R 1.7''

Tanabe DF210's are F 1.7'' and R 1.2''

Tein S-Tech's are F 2.4'' and R 2.05''

I'm not that very educated on suspension work so I'd like to ask those
who know their stuff about this topic...

I was wondering why most spring's that drop the tC are not equal.
I mean, the Progress one is 1.7'' all around but how come other
springs drop the rear more like the Tanabe's? Wouldn't it be better if
the car was lowered equally all around rather than different heights?

I'm stuck on buying Progress springs and Tanabe springs and
I wanted to know if there is a distinct reason why. Also, which one
do you think would look better between a equal dropp like Progress
or one that is dropped more in the rear.

Might want to look up those specs again.

The tanabe are 1.7 front and 2.2 rear so the car will sit level.

Not sure about the rest if there are correct or not or how you want the car to sit after you lower it.

Some like it level, some like it a bit raked like the stock stance, it is your opinion that counts so pick your poison.

Whoops my bad, that was a typo.

I still can't decide!

Progress Sports or Tanabe DF210's!
