Progress Sport Springs!!

I am currently considering these springs because they offer my desired drop. Does anyone have these springs, or know anyone who does? and if so are they good, bad... any opinion will help.. also if anyone could suggest a spring out there that would drop around 1.8-2.0. thanks

hey I just put those springs on my 04 coupe 2 weeks ago....great drop and they ride real nice...i have them with my stock shocks/struts, and its not real bouncy....only drawback is that the springs are like a light blue or a teal color.

Do you think tokico blue's can handle these springs along with 17's. I really like the drop but I don't want the aftermarket shocks going out on me.

i got megan lowering spring in stock and selling it for $100+ shipping



.. i think the only draw back is thats its orange.. but heres the specs

Megan Racing springs are made with "SAE 9254," the strongest material from Japan. Our new material will offer a stronger product that is lightweight and corrosion-protected with its phosphate and powder coatings. The result is a spring that specifically offers racecar handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics. Carefully matched springs rates provide exceptional handling, response, control and balance. Springs lower approximately 2" Front & 1.75" Rear. The lowered center of gravity improves performance and increases stability, as well as enhancing the appearance of the vehicle



Specs:
- Color: Orange
- Lower rate: 2" Front+Rear
- Springs rate: 280F & 230R
- MSRP: 169.95,

tokico blues are the best bang for your buck...non adjustable but they can definetly handle a serious drop spring...i wouldnt worry too much about them blowing

i had the progress springs on my 01 civic for about a year. THen my shocks blew and my car was bouncy as HELL. But as long as the shocks are good the drop is nice and the ride is GOOD. However on my progress springs, the rear sat a bit lower then the front for some reason, This made the rear have noticeable negative camber.

Anyway i recommend getting new struts ASAP. or get a full coilover system.

I dont have a camber kit....I mean, its not like an extreme camber problem, but you can tell that it is off...i didnt mean to make it sound like its like way off but just by looking it at, you can definetly tell. i dont see a serious need for a camber kit though.

how long have u been riding with these springs, and have you noticed and tire wear? I have even heard from people that our cars dont need camber kits simply because they are very light and the damage would be very minimal... i really wouldnt know though

Ive only had them about 2 months but even from that i havent seen any uneven wear....i had 17s on my old car with a 2.25 drop and that camber was off more than this is on my 04 and i never had any uneven tire wear and i had that for like a year or more
