U--- bar---U <= kinda like that.

the progress bar uses the inner 3 holes to mount. the other
3 holes are left open. this makes the spring tilt towards the
outside of the car which can potentially make the spring rub
against the spring carrier wall.

what i do is add dummy bolts on the 3 outside holes so that the
spring sits horizontally. hope that makes sense...
That does help - thanks. I had Skunk2 coilovers and Progress bar installed on the same day, and i have some bumping noises from the drivers side rear over some bumps. This may be the problem...

What did you use for dummy bolts? I used the panducky bolts to bolt up the Progress bar; do you think the bolts that came with the Progress bar would work as dummy bolts, or would I need something identical to the panducky bolts? Thanks again!

By the way - where in the midwest are you located?
