New pics of my i30 with Progress springs....cut one coil. Very low!

Got pics of the new drop!

They are Progress springs with a coil cut on the front and on the rear, tokico shocks on the rear, and stock struts on the front. They ride super nice, and it is looooooooowwww. I didn't realize really how low it is until mike62681 came over last night and we parked next to each other. I would guess I have about 1 finger of gap on the front and the rear. With equal gap, the front is raked a little and it looks freakin awesome!
I am stoked, those centerline forged wheels are in my future, as well as a factory spoiler!
Before & After!



In my sig now there is a nice side shot too!

Sweet! Good to know, my wife trashed the paperwork with the tracking number, and I thought you were going to hammer me!

looks nice. I just installed my AGX/Progress a week ago too. the ride like stock on normal road (2/4 setting) !!!! the lower front looks awsome (except the 15" steel). I already think my car is low, but yours is much lower.

how's the ride with the coil cut? is your I30 rim 16"?

Very nice. That's how low my car is. I have Sprint springs with 2 coils cut off the rear. One coil should be good enough. My car is just a bit odd I guess, it need two coils cut.

The i30 wheels are just 15". Don't like em, but like my tires. I would like to get something like the Motegi MR7 Gunmetal rims in a 15" size, I think they would be quite abit lighter than my stockers. A little scared of what an aftermarket 15" wheel would look like though. Ideal would be the Centerline forged in a 17 or 18, 17's weigh just 13 lbs. Mucho mulla though.

The progress springs ride really nice, really pretty supple, more so than my eibachs were on my 96se. However, the cut coil is noticeable on the bigger bumps. Not as much wheel travel. Not a big issue at all. Based on my experience now with the Progress springs, I would not have a problem at all recommending them as a good spring with a nice ride quality. I can't really comment though on how they handle in cornering applications because mine are cut. I feel like I have NO body roll! Pretty cool.

It is REALLY low! My wife is kinda complaining about how low the car is. She drives it to work because she works 20 miles away. Says getting in and out of it is too hard! So I may end up selling them and getting something else. I would love another set of Progress springs. These ride sooooo nice.

So, if anybody wants these, hit me up!

Damnit....I'll have to keep an eye on your car because those are the exact rims I have at the top of my list right now. Plus, we have the same car.

I just installed a set of Gun Metal MR7 for my daily drivers on RE-910's in 205/60/15

They seems nice so far but I freakin chipped it already with a new tool for installing the valve stem...not noticeable but I can fill it with some touchup paint tonight...it is noticeable gap from the 235/45/17 I just took off with the MaxSpeed springs. But like I said, they are my daily drivers so I don't care about the gap.

I have some more wheels and tires coming soon anyway...ssshhh...they are secret.

no not the drag radials ...

J/K, no one is airbag low like you BigSad, you are unique!

Low for most of us is more than the 1.5" most drop springs for the max offer!
