Well, maybe not that bad. But most of the reviews I have read say they only net about 2". But I have also seen some more recent reviews that say they are now netting more. But there is no word from Savvy if they changed spring rates, made them taller, changed manufacturers. Nothing. I've also read that people were able to get Savvy to get a taller spring for them if theirs was too short. But savvy doesn't advertise that they have multiple rates or heights to choose from. (So I can only assume they have poor quality control and if you call them directly maybe they can pick out a tall set for you. I don't know.) It seems that those who are actually able to talk with Savvy get good service, but I have never been able to get in touch with anyone the few times I have called or emailed. So all I know is what I have read on the forums. Most of the reviews say about 2" and then you are all the way through the soft section and sitting on a pretty firm rate. Other than fan boys and those who change out springs and shocks at the same time, I really haven't seen great reviews on the Savvy. I'm sure they are quality springs if Currie had anything to do with them, but there is just too much unknown for me.
