Eibach or Progress?

So my car's a lease, but i'd still like to lower it and i know this won't impact my warranty or whatever...plus i can always bring it back to stock...

So anyway, what would you guys recommend?
The Eibach is 1in front 1in rear
The Progress is 1.2front 0.8rear

I feel the progress is going to make the rear looked propped up and look all weird...

Also do you guys think the stock struts can handle these springs or will i have to replace the struts aswell?

with progress, you would look a BIT "nose diving", but it closes the gap more evenly which i like.

eibach has a even drop, but the wheel gap might not be completely even

stock structs, you would never know. so far i havent heard any members with blown shocks/strucks yet and they've been running springs for like 2 years

I guess as long as the car looks even i don't care much about the gap you know...

Plus i figured if my struts do blow, i'll put the stock springs back in and go to the stealership to replace under warranty... This is how I does it...lmao

Thanks for the reply btw.

I would go with the eibachs solely based on the number of people on this forum who have them. That must mean something right?

agreed, but after looking at the pics Tobwac posted, i'm not feeling the gap... it doesn't really look lowered. Damn i really don't want to drop 1k on coilovers but i feel that'll be the best thing for me and NYC...lol

I know s-tech's have always been a drastic drop for any car, and i feel it'll be to much load on the stock struts and i don't want to replace them on a lease...
