Anyone besides carlosalicea with Progress Springs? Everyone is raving about their rear bar. What about their springs? They aren't very stiff or drop too low, which I think is what I want.

Anyone have any pictures?

I have the springs and not the bar.......

They are so far excellent!!!!! the car droped but not too much and it feels almost like with the factory ones (I mean not jarring at all). Oviously a little more stiff than before but I expected a whole lot more.

I would recomend them for good.



P/d The front don't seem to lower too much but I didn't cut the bump stop, Hell I did not even install them Because don't have experience in that matter ( Pep Boys do the front job ). I do installed the rears wich looked so ridiculous easy to do, and it was easy.

Do you have any pictures?

How much did it help to flatten the car around turns or when braking hard? Still understeering a tad? You've raced it right, so you should know these things right?
I figure these or the eibachs are the best for stock shocks and not a crazy drop. Until I save for coilovers.
Do they say to cut the bumpstop? I wouldn't think so with such a little drop.

The car feels better all around. Less unwanted body roll. oviously there are more extreme set ups (eibach sportlines, full coilovers) but they make the car a better handler.

I have network security setings here at my office, that prevent me from entering image shack, end photobucket.com

ive been wondering on what springs to get, since I dont want it too dropped with stock rims, but when I put 17's make it look good without a gap. How many inches they advertize on drop?
