Yeah, coming from a VW, even the stock spring and shock setup on the fit is
really bouncy. I plan on taking note of the Progress coils on :
- if they make riding on freeway joists worse
- the amount of drop and settling during 4 weeks of riding
- how they feel on standard flat, paved street
- how they decrease (or increase) body roll
- how they hold up to a full cargo load in rear and/or passengers
- how they address front end dive during braking
- how they address squatting (with and without cargo) during accel
- how they affect time in a 100 ft slalom vs. stock setup.
and other stuff. If I don't like em, I'll try the GF210 setup, but besides the rate of drop, I'm assuming the ride will be similar. I'm trying to figure out how to obtain a g-meter from a buddy in Texas; I want run an unofficial skidpad test before and after the Progress setup. That may not happen (especially if the MOFO continues to throw my calls straight to voicemail!
) but we'll see. The slalom timing thing may not happen if I get impatient and install the springs before I can take measurements on the stock setup
