Progress Springs

i was wondering if anyone had personal experience with these springs. Also, on The Progress Group, Inc. Online Store, it is advertised for 06-07 Fits, wanted to kno for a fact they fit 08's.

I just installed Progress Springs last Friday. It won't slam your car, so if you are looking for a mild drop then you are in the right place. I have an 08 and they fit. Here's how my car sits now:

yeah the progress springs aren't the lowest (my bro has them)
but they're perfect if you don't drive on the best of roads
really good daily driver springs

h have them too on my 08 and yea they wont slam the car either but it looks awesome. they are not as stiff as lets say the teins but they are comfortable for street driving but yet they add the stability that the stock springs lack. i would highly recommend them. my next purchase will be the progress rear sway bar

Peogress springs are perfect for a DD, the ride is about the same as stock in terms of comfort but the wheel gap is reduced and the body roll is reduced.

I have the Progress springs and rear sway bar with no other suspension mods (Konig Heliums on stock tires) and I have to say I LOVE the way the car drives, rides, and handles.... if it wasn't such a gutless car I'd say its perfect how it is

stock tires?
you should upgrade
changing tires helps LOADS on handling
not like it's the fit's weak point or anything

I have them, wish they were lower but with my lip i cant really be any lower.
I like mine, not to rough of a ride.
