Suspension Update...cattman vs Eibach
#42
What set-up do you have? (Springs and anti-sway bar) I don't know if the have the FSB. Check out their site. If not buy a Stillen FSB. Thats what I have and I have had no problems with it.

PROGRESS SPORT SPRINGS: MAXIMA 04-05 Item # PRG-401522
$169 shipped (Progress Technology Springs -1.8" Drop (FR) & -.75" Drop (RR) For Nissan Maxima 04-05)
Now the question I have is, according to this website:
http://www.coximport.com/progress/apps.html
The drop is 1.7in in the front and 1.5 in the rear? According the GD
The drop is 1.8in in the front and .8 in the rear?
I was just shopping the price and ran accross those specs. I emailed Progress on Sunday but haven't heard back from them yet.
Dues, VQ can either of you vouch for the drop in the rear?
And who installed the springs/bar on your cars.
Thanks guys.

In the link above when you click on the RSB for Maxima there is a ugly Progress name plate in the picture and the RSB is some weird color.
Is it safe to assume there is no functionality to that? And is the color grey like the springs?
Also I can not find the springs or RSB on the Cattman site. Am I blind?
Please advise!
Thank you!

In other words, as a cost saver, they should work great for a one time install...
