Confused about lowering springs... expert needed

Current model: 2000 4cyl Solara.

I know Eibach Pro-Kit and TRD Lowering springs are the same but how come both have different lowering degrees?

Eibach Pro-Kit for Solara says, 1.6" drop front and rear

But the TRD Lowering springs say they drop the car, 1.2" front and 1.6" in rear

So the question is... who is right?

the fact is they are exactly same thing and there is no difference. however, it is about 1.2-1.4" in the front and 1.5" in the back

Just go with Eibach so you do not pay the extra money for the TRD decal :D

Thanks for the info guys!

One more question... I live in NY, and we have some pretty bad winters here sometimes. I have the molly designs kit on it. If I lower the car with Eibach pro-kit, anyone experience any difficulty during the winter?
