Anyone have something different...
I see just about everyone has either Eibachs or H&R springs. Does anyone have the Intrax, Sprint, B&G, etc. I know two people have progress springs, but anyone have anything different?
I would like a little lower drop than the eibachs but rather not pay as much for the H&Rs. The progress springs are looking most apetizing to me, but I remember yo_its_ok saying something about them not seating properly on the rears. Has anyone experienced this?
If you have any suggestions, please pass them my way. I can get eibachs/tokico's to my door for $550.50, but would still like something cheaper. I know the KYB's are coming out soon, but I'd rather not have to modify anything to get them to fit. I remember Catman saying they would have an adapter, but if I remember correctly it's $30 per. That's once again more than I'm wanting to put into them.
Also don't bother mentioning the coilovers. Not interested ... doesn't mean Kev and others can't contribute, but don't suggest the coilovers.
Thanks

Just something to be aware of, but it should be no problem if you know what you are doing!

The progress springs fit fine on the front however... the rear springs don't truly sit properly on the perch....bottom... but with some manipulation of the factory spring wrap....you can sit it in properly w/o any issues, you must be very careful when decompressing the rear, as you might need to move it around if it doesn't fit in 100% when you go to reinstall the strut assembly. make sure you trust w/o a doubt the person doing your suspension, cause the Progress ones are tricky.

I have decided to go with the progress springs. The drop is more of what I'm looking for, but now I need to find some tokicos. Once again I'd rather not get the KYB's since they require some sort of modification, but I still might consider them.
Anyone know where I can find tokicos cheap? I tried shox.com but they want $350 shipped, and custommaxima.com wants $345 shipped. Cheaper anyone?
THanks
