Default spring question

Hi
I searched through the forum but couldnt find an exact answer
Iam currently looking at the skunk2 and neuspeed springs
I see different number of inches of drop for these two springs skunk2
i also heard neuspeed is the lowest springs you can get, is that true? how much lower than skunk2 is it?
also i read through the skunk2 thread and got mixed results for this, is it okay to but 9 coils in the rear and 8 coils in the front for these springs even though they have different spring rate?
thanks!

Neuspeed's are junk
Skunk 2's are decent
I wouldn't recommend putting 8 coils in front and 9 coils in he rear, its just wrong and your car will handle like crap.

Here's my car with skunk 2's

It is supposed to be 9 in the front, 8 in the rear, I spoke with Skunk2 personally as well as got the correct installation info sheet e-mailed from them. I covered this in the official Skunk2 springs thread. 100% 9 in the front, 8 in the rear. The spring rates are dramatically different between the 2.
