Progress w/ Illuminas - anyone have that?

I haven't seen much talk about people using Progress springs with Illuminas. Anyone using that setup? Thoughts? Should I dump the Progress and look for something else when I get my Illuminas?

LeX used to have it in his ride. Illuminas set to 3...very nice ride and stance.

I'm thinking of getting a set of Progress' for the front to even out the H&Rs.

Housecor had that setup before he switched to H&R fronts. Might ask him for some info, or check his site out...

I have Progress/Illuminas as do many others, so look around for more discussions on this. My settings are 3 F 4 R. Don't bother using HP/Blues with them because they will be under dampened. I've been happy with the balance between ride and handling they offer for the time I've had them (I tried H-techs and those did ride better, but don't handle as well).

Thanks for all the replies. How long should it take for the Progress to settle and even out?

After two weeks you should be fine. I have this set up and it's comfy and handles pretty well. Even at 5/5 it's very tolerable.
