How would progress springs on illuminas set on "1" ride? Im so used to the comfort of H&R springs...How do the springs take potholes and bumps?

set on 1 is too soft for me but still handles like a champ. almost like a factory ride, but you still just dont run over bumps

Eibach handeling > all springs.

Even with a Stillen lip, I have yet to hit anything on the Progress springs... Speed bumps are zero problem for me.

I was lower on the D2s and speed bumps were still never a problem.

Your info sucks, just like your drop.

IIRC, Josh (Irish) felt that Eibachs rode better than Progress. He felt that Progress was stiff and a bit rough, BUT, I think they offer the best drop for us and I don't find them to be harsh.

I also live in a place with pretty damn good roads, having moved here from NYC (Forest Hills, 15min from you) I know NYC roads are WAY worse than here...
