what goes lower:B&G, Omni Power or Progress?

Hey guys, I searched on this subject and I really didnt a concrete answer from my search so here it is. As the title implies, which suspension is capable of going lower? B&G coilovers, Omni Power coilovers or Progress coilovers? From my search I saw mixed reviews from everyone about which goes lowest, from what I see I think B&G will go the lowest. I just want to confirm this information and i want to have a good idea of how my ride will look like before I purchase my new suspension. [planning on tucking 205/40/16 or over the tire at least]

Any help is very much appreciated THANKS!

i believe most of those measurements are not accurate at all and just a ball park figure

The front can go down to 4", but the rear is maxed at 2" and I have three amps and two 15s" in the trunk.

not completely true. They are just guestimated. When on the car they are different and hold differently between the fronts and backs. If you read carefully they normally say they "can" go to 4". That doesn't necessarily mean they will.

That doesnt make sense if they advertise that they CAN go to 4" and not be able to. Fallout stated progress' front coilovers CAN goto 4'' just not the rear, can B&G do that?

Yeah that's total bullshit. I was very disapointed after the install. They advertised a 4" drop and that was the reason I bought it. As heavy as my trunk is, there's still a two finger gap in between. It won't go lower than that. I didn't want to call them and complain coz i dont want to make a big deal out of this.

Maybe you can order shorter springs for the rear. That's wierd because when I had D2 coilovers they went 4'' or more in the rear and the front's lowest is 2''.
