Progress springs install help
I just installed progress springs, I'm wondering if I have the back on wrong. I oriented them with the sticker they had, but ride height is like the same no difference
here's a photo

No I didn't cut the back, I will though, just beat after the install.
I put on a sway bar too and the handling is great, I was getting pushed around by wind and big trucks on the interstate. It's a lot more planted, my mpg'zz went way up. Coincidence? Not sure, but my average went up to 43 on a jaunt.
What about the height, what do ya'll think? Seems about right for me and for the roads here.
I dont' have a good before, and my camera died after 1 photo today for F'k sakes. Oh well here's a couple photo's.

looks hella better, mpg's will go up a little any time you can keep air from getting under the car (lowering) i like the front mud guards too, why no rear? did you make the licence relocator?

So I put my spring in upside down to yours. Who is right???

does the springs contact the swaybar mounting fasteners at all? if yes, then chances are it is might be reversed? not sure, probably best to check with progress.
i remember back in the day when i tried their swaybar on my GD, i had to get low profile screw heads to mount as the tanabe DF210's were sitting on the bolt heads. i think they made their springs so that i makes no (or minimal) contact with the bolts.

im guessing that the progress springs have same coil wind diameter as stock as it still uses the bottom rubber mount, right? that's good to hear they fixed this problem on the GE application.
#12
Yup I used both rubber mounts. No problems with rsb an springs. But he question remains. Witch way does the springs go? Does it even matter?
#13
if it fits correctly i dont think it really matters. but usually progressive coil wind goes on top in a lot of applications ive seen and done in the past.
