Dumb question... N/A springs vs TII.

Do TII springs have a lower ride height than N/A?
I have a 90GXL, with the "Option B" package... it has 4 piston calipers... and suposedly TII suspension?? (Questionable, just what I've heard about the B package)
Anyways, I have noticed that TII's look noticable lower than my car...
I kow the spring rates are higher for the TII springs, but is the ride height shorter??

I could pick a set up really cheap if it is.

it's probably just from the larger weight of the turbo car...

Yeah, I had TII springs on my GXL and it sat the same height as with the NA ones.

Most TII's I've seen have been 86-88's too... older, and more miles than my 90.... could be a factor, but I'm still not sure.
They mostly seem much lower in the back- mine seems to really sit up in the back, I HATE it.....
I would like to lower just the back 1" if posible, to match the front... not sure how I'd do it...

Racing beat springs, they are mad cheap and 1" drop, 30% stiffer.

Bambam, there's no such thing as option A and B in 90. GXL is the option B. It has the 4 piston brakes already
