With the old progressive and linear we have not seen much sag with them at all. It is still to early to tell about the triple rates since they have only been out since January.

on my 2 door my 3.5 rk netted like 4.5 and settled to 4.25. mine was decently heavy. that may hinder your decision, but not sure if the triples are the same way.
