What is everyone's opinion on which brand of lowering springs are better and why? I had the steeda set on my 21 and before I pull the trigger on a new set for the 23, I would like to know what your thoughts are. I also noticed that they now have 2 different sets of springs from H&R, one set lists a 1.6 drop F/1.75 R and the other is 1.6 F/R, plus there is the steedas and eibach.

I did some digging on steeda's site because they have all 4 different sets. The eibach's are progressive and listed at 1.3F/1.6R drop, the H&R 1.6F/R are also progressive, the other H&R 1.6F/1.75R are not progressive and neither are the steeda at 1.0F/1.25R.

Don’t want to be that guy, but the search button would be very helpful. This has been discussed a lot. But, that’s what we’re here for anyway.

Eibach for maximum drop, Steeda if you want to keep a rake for towing, H&R are always a great option, and stay away from Lethals they are too prone to problems.

I tried the search and came with nothing, but I may have tried the wrong keywords. I didn't know about lethal, they have there own line of springs?

That’s weird because their is a lot of threads on this but most be a glitch. Yes Lethal offers quite a few products for a quite a few vehicles branded by them. Most of them are good but the springs are too prone to problems.
Google this:

site:explorerst.org springs
This is what I find the most efficient way of searching things.
