I am curious if anyone can tell me if these give an even drop on a MSP. I found some older threads with pictures that show a pretty even drop.. but I have been told by a couple people that these will give a raked look. Just looking for a solid answer. Thanks in advance

They do rake it quite a bit with the stock struts. If you're on aftermarket struts it'll sit level.

There is the thread i was looking at... it looks like an even drop in his pics.. but there is a post at the end where someone talks about how their msp is raked with them. The spicy msp you posted looks pretty even, definately not raked as bad as Tein S-techs

It all depends on the struts. The stock MSP struts have the lower perch 1" higher than normal Tokico HP's...............

I was running Tokico Illumina struts and Progress springs on my MSP when it was totaled. Take a look through this thread to see how it sat!

Have always loved your car Rush... will continue my search for a set of progress springs, wasn't fast enough on the ones just were just in the for sale section

I have a bit of a rake. I can't comment on how much compared to the s-techs. I haven't seen a msp with them in person. Not rediculous though. I think it looks pretty tough. My car will sit even with about 130 lbs of bowling balls in the trunk. So if your crazy with audio or have a lot of stuff or passengers often these would be a good choice.
