may have to wait for the new suspension to settle..

That's wath I think cause everything is new

I had Eibach and switched to progress because Eibach didn't drop the front that much, still had a big gap. That's why you should read the forums or ask questions before you buy something.

I would wait a week or two before you make any decisions about buying new springs again.

Sometimes new springs take a little while to settle. I just put springs on an Audi S4 and it took nearly a week for them to settle. They dropped about 1/2 inch over that week

thats exactly wath i think i wasent gonna change springs anyways everything i put is new. But progress springs drop 1.8 and eibach are 2.0 inches so how couls progress be lower than eibach ????

I though the same too but in reality when you install both, like I have, you kind of see the difference. Tein lowers the least of the 3 on paper but in reality it lowers the most. Progress also rides better then Eibach, I noticed that right away.

Here is Eibach, notice how the *** looks liek it's sagging? That's because ogf teh big rear drop and not enough in front.

Now here is Progress, looks better doesn't it?

So I Guess I'll Be Going With Progress Springs When It Comes Time To Buy

Progress all the way

Don't discount Tein. Mine have settled perfect! Actually spot on to what their specs are.

I've run both tein s tech and progress. They both ride about the same (on 20"s) but the progress are much much stiffer. the progress may have lifted the rear a bit but not much and once they settled it was perfect.
