I just installed my Progress RSB today. Took me about 2 hours...I'm a perfectionist, it probably won't take most people that long.

Thanks to olincoles for the great how-to write up! The Progress instructions really sucked. The write up is here:

First of all, I'm not sure why people complain about the way it looks. You can't see mine at all unless you get on your hands and knees and look under my car. No one is going to see it when they're driving behind. Maybe it's because my car is lowered? (Maxspeed springs)

Wow! I have to say I am VERY surprised in the difference this made in handling!!! HUGE difference. I would go as far as to say night and day. Maybe it has somethig to do with the fact that I already have an FSB, lowered, and with pretty aggressive tires. I immediately noticed that the car turned with much more responsiveness and ease. There's a wrap-around freeway off-ramp that I have perfected over the years. Previously I could push my car to take it at 50 mph. Tonight I flew down it at 60 mph on the first try...I'm sure I could have done 65 if I tried again. NICE. Even quick, snappy turns around town feel tighter.

One thing I noticed is that before, my suspension was the weak link in my car's cornering ability. I had to try really hard to get my tires to break loose in a long, sweeping turn. Now, my tires have become my weak link. I didn't predict this at all. A nice surprise, at least until I have to upgrade to better tires!!

I can tell that there's a tendency for oversteer now...something I didn't experience that much before. It's not a big deal, just something I will have to get used to...something I'm looking forward to exploring in more detail.

A very, VERY nice mod indeed!!
