h&r springs are at my lss, but im rethinking progress springs...

I like the ride of h&r, i had them on my 99. I like the stance of the progress. 1st, does the progress require a front camber kit? 2nd, is the ride on the progress very close to h&r? as I dont want the harsh ride similar to eibachs. 3rd, is this rear spring perch fitment much of a concern, as i am very pickey and would much rather have a precise fit for my rear springs. Seems there is not a lot of info in the 'search' on the progress.

Buddy, Dozens of people on this board have H&R's. Look as hard as you want, there is not one person with one complaint.....well except you, but yours wasn't so much as a complaint as it was personel preference.

Buddy, my concern is not with the h&r's ive used them before, and i cant really have a preference between the h&rs and progress as i have never used or riden in a car with them. What im looking for is input on the progress springs such as camber kit, fitment, etc.

you'll probably need a camber kit if the Progress springs drop your ride 2" or more.....

since i have never ridden in a car w/ h&r springs, i cant say anything about them, and ive never ridden w/ eibach on a max either, but from everything ive read on those two, i can take an educated guess that progress rides btwn h&r and eibach...i have progress and cant complain too much cuz considering the drop and running on stock shocks, its held up pretty well...if you cant take a sumwhat harsh ride, then i wouldnt really recommend em; im not sure how they ride w/ aftermarket shocks but hopefully im gonna find out soon...i dont really mind the harsher ride cuz it makes my car look gangstaaaaa when im rolln, and i dont have a camber kit and dont really plan on getting one either, i just need an alignment

I was thinking about those too. I am worried that I cant find a MaxSpeed homepage and very few companies carry them. Are they any good (quality wise)?
