can you elaborate on "the ride was ok" you make it sound like you didn't like the ride. or it was harsh or something.

BTW they are on special here for $130.oo

I know the maxspeed springs are $95 during the group deal, but have never heard of the progress springs being $95

These are AWSOME springs. I have had em for a couple years now and Im compleetly satified with them. They were about 200$ back when i got em though. You cant go wrong.

yeah i used to have those progress springs on my old saturn, progress is a great company and their springs are top notch, awesome for the autocrossing deal. i would have got them again with my maxima but the sprints had 2 inches and that was the deciding factor

i just got my progress springs with my AGX's and i think it is awesome. all i have been doing is reading threads that people are unhappy with the ride but i think that the ride is not different at all. i think that only the driver would notice if anyone at all. i got mine for 500(progress/AGX combo) from cattman performance. he had a deal about 3 weeks ago. im not sure if he still has it but i would definately check into it if i were you.

Finally! Some feedback on Progress springs! I especially like that someone said they work well for autocrossing, because someone had previously said they rode as comfortable as stock. If the AGX can tune them from comfortable to firm, that sounds like a good range. My coilovers give fast and accurate steering, but not so great for daily use on bad roads.

I, too am glad to see some feedback on them. Do I have to get the shocks right away with this deal? I've seen them for $147.00 at www.optauto.com
peace

I'd recommend it. I had H&R's at one point, with Tokico blues. Nice springs, lousy shocks, hardly better than stock. Tuning the struts should allow you to customize the ride the way it feels best to you. Getting them later means twice as much work, a second alignment, etc.

Hmm, I take it camber is ok with this drop, without the expense of a camber kit ...
