Experiences with Progress springs....

I saw that Cattman is now stocking Progress springs,the only springs they'll testify to...so i'm wondering about other max owners and their experiences with these springs for the max. What strut/shocks are you running and if you have pic, please post them. Progress is a very performance oriented suspension company that is why i'm interested in these springs...thanks

I've only ridden on Progress on a 5th gen ... but they were lower than Eibachs (also on a 5th gen) and less stiff.

I say go for it. And besides... $500 from Cattman for Progress and KYB AGX can't be beat!

I can tell you I had these for about four months. Worst ride of my life. Just my opinion (on my 99 gxe)

I have had Progress, Eibach Pro-Kit, and H&R springs on my 1999 Maxima.

The Progress had the lowest drop and the ride was bumpy/harsh. They ruined my struts.

The Eibachs had a decent drop, and the ride was race/stiff. Although the ride was stiff, it was much more controlled than the Progress. These springs did not ruin my struts (they aren't as low as Progress).

The H&R's have about the same drop as Eibach, maybe a little lower. The ride is smooth, but not as sporty as Eibach. Closest spring to stock ride quality.
