H&R springs OK for '25 but Steeda aren't, why?

Went shopping for lowering springs for my '25, and originally I was interested in Steeda to keep the attack angle, but they said nogo for '25 (yet). From Support:

"Our Steeda Explorer Lowering Springs (2020-2023) do not fit the 2025
We will have a revised spring for the 2025 available soon."

Meanwhile, I've seen several folks with '25 models installing H&Rs, so I went ahead and ordered since those kind folks have already volunteered as tribute. Install of the H&Rs should be soon, along with already-ordered Steeda front & rear sway bars and end links and FenFab vertical links, too. Shop date sometime this month hopefully.

My question tho: why would existing model H&R (or other) springs be OK for '25 models but the existing Steeda springs not?

They probably haven't had a chance to verify them yet. Once they verify them, they will update their site. Or they are coming out with new springs. I for one wasn't happy with the steeda springs on my 21 so maybe they are revising them.

That would be my suspicion too.

Questions: I will be taking delivery of my 2025 ST in December and am interested in lowering it.
Typically how much of a lowering? 1", 1.5"?
Are there warranty implications?
Are there other adds I should have in addition to the springs?
Dealer or outside shop do the installations?
Thanks for your thoughts!
