a lot of people like them. i've read they have a great/comfy ride when matched up with aftermarket shocks. i don't have any personal experience with them though, i have TEIN S.tech, and i'm waiting to in stall my basics

oo rear in the back on a 2 door..
most springs are made for the coupe, for example my Tein S techs were made for the 2 door..and my rear is already lower than the front.
His progress are made for a 2 door and his *** is already lower..hmmm..
if you have a 2 door cool..if you have a sedan it might look weird !

i guess it looks ok. my friend with the 4 dr had to put those spacers in the rear cuz it was sagging really low and the spacers made it even. if i woulda put the spacers in then the rear would be higher than the front. i'll try to get some pics up

so is it really lower on the *** or just even... coz stock the *** sits higher then the front.. most springs do an even drop the so the *** sits higher...

1.8 front and 2.0 back, right? im running 17's so much much finger gap between the rubber and fender?

I would say you should have a 1-1.5 finger gap.

I had progress and yes the rear will sag with stock shocks. The ride is decent. Don't forget your camber kit.
