I dunno but it's not a good combo.. You'll be bouncing around everywhere after it settles.. I know this from experience..


Go with H&Rs instead..

I've compared the difference in spring height with progress and eibachs. Didn't see a difference in size.
So it only shows that it uses lower spring rates to make the car go lower, which also results in poorer ride quality..

BTW.. Tokicos suck as well.. Go with AGXs.. It's really easy to modify them..

Tokico's SUCK~! They are ONLY good for stock strut replacement, but seem to do well with H&R's

AGX's will help you handle much better

For 5th gens you have the options of Eibach's, Ground Controls, Progress, H&R's, Tein (not the coilovers)... they dont make sprints for 5th gens

You guys are bumming me out. I bought progress and tokico's based upon recommendations from the .org. Am awaiting installation this week. Now I come in here and hear people bashing them.

Christ. How is one to make a decision around here with so many conflicting views.

Well, its all based on your own opinion... do what you like, its your car

When i had the progress/tokico combo before anyone else, i hated the ride... Eibachs with stock struts rode much beter

AGXs are valved for lowering springs, you put a low spring like progress on a Tokico or GR-2 strut and you'll know it's not so hot. Those aren't much better than stock and aren't made for the lowering that progress gives. May be alright on something like an H&R, but you go low and you want the right struts.

Go with H&Rs if you want absolutely zero drop whatsoever. H&Rs look like stock springs.

I have Progress and KYB AGX's. I got them from Cattman. They are nice.....
