For 4th gens riding on Progress/AGX, post your experience please

I remember Cattman Performance had a Progress/AGX combo sale on the .org a few weeks ago.

I'm hoping that people on Progress/AGX could describe their ride quality.

Please try to cover the following:
1) Previous setup, e.g., stock SE springs/shocks, H&R/Tokicos, etc. If you had cut any coils off, please note that as well.
2) Ride comfort
3) Handling differences (if any)
4) Your personal opinion compared to your previous setup
5) Other

I think this would be helpful to others (myself included) interested in the Progress/AGX combo. This spring combo is relatively 'new' compared to H&R/AGX or B&G/AGX etc, so it would be great to get some first hand experience.

Only for 4th gen please, thank you. Post if you have this combo.

p.s.: Let's not try to get OT, thanks

I have the KYB AGX/Progress Springs. I have had them all for all of 2 days but I like them alot. I didnt take the time to measure the wheel gap before hand (doh!). Being in AZ I dont take many rides in any other modded maximas but compare to the stock setup with 120k miles on it the ride is better in every way. I did put a Addco RSB on at the same time so that helps a great deal with the handling. I have 17's and the wheel gap police wont come after me anymore. Ill try to get some pics out one of these days. How long should I wait to get it aligned?

wait a couple of weeks.

btw, what measures did you take to prevent your springs from making noises? did you use wire wrap of any kind?

How does the Progress/AGX combo compare to your stock SE ride in terms of comfort? No doubt handling is nice and tight

Hey sorry havent been around for a while. I didnt take any measures to prevent noise, but I havent had any problem with noise. The handlng is very stiff but handles like you wouldnt believe. I have the struts set at 3 and 5. I am working on getting a member page (with pics) on cardomain up as soon as it is up I will let you know. Also I am thinking of doing my calipers in gold what do you think of that. I saw it on a 350z (Brembo) it looks bad a$$.
Peace out
