ROCKET JOCKEY has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Has anybody had any experience

with either Omni or Progress full coilovers ? I cant find any reviews about these coilovers . Im just intrested in a smooth ride with a little better handling and a drop . Do these coilovers deliver that, or should I keep on looking ? Im just getting frustrated, I know what I want but I dont know what I need and I only have max 1,000 to spend on it . Somebody help me .


PS ARE HAYMENS THAT BIG PIECES OF **** ? there cheap and could be a possibility .

I don't think anyone here has the omni coils. Only one person I think has the progress coils. I would trust progress.

im curious, why are you only considering coil-overs?

why not just get a set of Eibach Sportlines? or Pro-kit? Also, Tanabe has a line of springs that range from grip to dress-up(low but smooth) trim

LOL, HAYMENS. Just kidding man. I have Hayames, and they've got a pretty nasty reputation right now on this board. People complaining of the wiggle problem, not being able to drop low enough in the rear, blown shocks. I think I'm the only person who hasn't experienced these problems. I'm not sure if I'm just not seeing it, or if I'm really lucky, but my ride is still nice and stiff, my shocks aren't blown, and my rear is as low as I could want anyway (can't drop any further though). Honestly I don't think I could recommend these, even though I do love mine. Odds are you'll get duds. Take a look at D2's or B+G. For a grand you could even get your hands on Tein Basics with change to spare.

Progress is an excellent choice for the price!

The original Take-Apart Coil-over System for Sport-Compact cars. This system has been refined over thousands of racing miles. Take PROGRESS technology to the track, and build a winner!

FEATURES:

Short Struts: 30mm shorter strut bodies for lower ride heights, improved ride quality and traction.

Polyurethane Components: polyurethane Short Stops allow additional wheel travel. New strut top bushings and spring isolators also included.

Take-Apart Design: Strut tops are threaded for easy revalving. Custom valving is simple to install for road racing and drag racing. "how-to" video available.

Big Bore Size: Large 35mm piston and twin-tube cellular gas construction for consistent damping.

Threaded Spring Perches: Ride Height adjustable 1" - 4". Detent locks collars in position every half turn. No lock ring necessary!

Not to mention, we are having a GB on the ENTIRE Progress line. This is a 1 time pricing on this..............$980 plus s&h

Regular price is $1125 plus s&h
