These are true performance lowering springs, not just a shorter stock spring, manufactured with the correct spring rate and ride height for each specific application. They are progressive rate springs which offer improved road hold while maintaining a comfortable ride.

This part right here gets me. Progressive/variable spring rates are NOT performance. They can actually hurt performance. As the spring compresses, the spring rate increases. A linear/constant rate spring increases exactly that, smoothly as it's compressed and will decompress just as smoothly . A progressive/variable rate spring increases in increments, meaning as it compresses the rates jump up in steps or increments. If it jumps to too high of rate it will spring back and can throw the car out of position which could be really bad in a corner.

Choosing springs is all about spring rates. What are the spring rates? Higher, same, or lower than stock? Personally I would compare to IROC spring rates. Second thing that is also important, what type of spring rates are they? constant/linear(this is the best for performance) or progressive/variable? These are the two most important things when buying springs. It frustrates me to see how many spring companies don't advertise either of these things.
