The instal looks good.

 

Is that a 2" drop?

 

looks bad-***. how's the ride?????

 

Ditto, how is the ride. That looks sooooo good. From the pics the wheel well gap almost looks even. In your opinion is it?

 

how many inch's was the drop?
is the ride quality stiffer or about the same as stock?

yeah that was me that said your exhaust will quiet down later on, give it a week or two.

 

The drop looks good.

 

hey thanks guys, appreciate the support..its a 1.7" front, 1.5" rear drop..the ride is comparable to stock...i was pretty impressed...but on bumps and things, its a little rougher than stock understandably...the wheel wells is what im most happy w/...the front has a little bit more space than than the rear, but its pretty equal....my camera doesnt have great quality or it might have looked even better cuz u cant make out the tires...if u could see where the tires were, i think the pics would look even phatter...when i went to pick her up, i was trippn....the exhaust is pretty damn loud between 2-3k rpms, but i hope it subsidizes a little bit, not too much though cuz it sounds good...i can feel a little bit more power on the low end..its either that or the deep rumble takes me to another place for those few short seconds

 

time to fix your sig now

 

done and done

 

looks good man!

 

now, i have to decide between these progress springs and h&r's. lol. it's all your fault.

you changed the springs only, correct?

 

excuse me if I missed a thread however you referred to your new springs as 'Progress Springs'...are they in fact Eibach progressive springs? And they cost only $125?? Car looks good, probably minimizes any 'floaty' ride feel and assume improved the handling a good deal...thanks. JW.

 

Progress springs are a brand of spring like Eibachs. Eibachs are springs that are progressive (no relation)

 

correct

 

Your ride looks awesome man!!!!

 

+1?

 

 

Looks good. Our cars are almost identical with the dual-tip and the clear corners etc. Your ride's lower of course.

 

Ok, thanks for clarifying.....then are the Progress Springs progressive rate springs? Thanks.

 

whats progressive rate and how does it differ?

 

When springs are progressive, it gets increasingly stiff as you put pressure on it instead of having a constant spring rate. On my H&Rs, for example, the more you push down on it, the harder it is to compress it.

 

First off, your ride looks tight. Second, I'm thinking about doing the suspension on my car in the near future, but of course I'm not going to lower my car on the stock struts/shocks.

Do me a favor, and keep posting about how you like the feel of the ride. I don't think there's enough progress springs our there so please keep everyone posted on how they feel!

Oh yeah, and your link didn't work for me. Is your site down or soemthing?

 

thanks for the feedback every1....also, im running on stock struts till i cant take the ride anymore, i forgot who said it, but we did pay for the struts so might as well use em till they go out, cuz after i get the konis im not gonna be needing to put stock ones back in......the ride, as i posted earlier is excellent rite now...ill post every month or so as ride quality decreases due to the struts.....and yea the site is working

I have had mine for about 5 months now and the ride is still good. I dont think I can wait any longer for the kyb's so I am going to get the konis.

 

thats awesome, cuz im gonna be on stock struts for a while
