Hey wassup...im thinkin about puttin progress springs on my car which has stock wheels and rims (14" i beleive) and i was wonderin if that will be too low...the reason y im doin this is because...i hate the way my car looks wit its *** up in the air...and right now i dont really have enough money for both springs and rims...lol...so i decided to lower my car first and then save up for the 16" rims

I am trying to get some springs right now. Progress i've been hearing 50/50 ratings but if you want a 2" drop the GoldLines are really good from what i hear on the board. They say 1.75 but it settles down to about 2 after a few months. You will definitely need to buy a camber kit though. So tack on another good amount of $$ w/the springs. I'm gonna get the eibach sportlines 1.4" and it looks really good and dont really need a camber kit just maybe new shocks later on. 1.4" gives the car about 1-1/2 finger gap instead of stock about 4 fingers. I just dont wanna get a camber kit but i want my car lower. Hope that helped. Laters!

will there be alot of scrapage since the size of the wheel i will have are 14s

probably no scraping on the 14in wheel, but maybe on the 16in...but most likely, not at all.. i know a guy with 18in rims with 2in drop..no problems [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

IMO the progress drop looks ugly. it looks like the back sags alot. n right now i have a stock car dropped on neuspeed sports. doin what your doing except i'm savin for some 18s. hopefully i'll get it within this month but anyways...

i dont scrape at all but the drop just isn't low enough. if your getting a kit 1.7/1.5 drop is koo but i would atleast get a 2" drop. preferably neuspeed race. progress do lower your car 2 inches but ya the drop just looks ugly. if you get 16s you probably will have the same tire diameter or something close to it so it probably wont be any different

I agree with you VNlilMAN, I have progress springs and the look of em is really starting to irritate me. I may be going for yet ANOTHER set of springs. At least they ride good for a 2" drop. I've lightly scraped my body kit a couple times, but with no body kit you should have no problems.

why would you drop your cars on stock steelies w/ stock shocks? Your just ruinin your car even more..... Do it right the first time.

I had my Progress for a year and now am finally changing my shocks........Shocks have to be blown in back....When I push on my trunk my car bounces up and down effortlessly.....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

exactly how long your stock shocks last on lowering springs depends on how u drive the car, road conditions, etc... but if u drop your ride on them, they will always blow sooner rather than later

neuspeed race should be perfect for a car on stock wheels.

Is it cool to get Nuespeed Race instead of Neuspeed Sport for just slippin around the city? I thought the Race springs were for Racing?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

what? what kind of logic is this? just curious dude but that makes no sense to me.

 
Rep Power: 416

race springs are usually stiffer then sports and so i have heard a couple complaining about the badd ride with race but i think neuspeed made the springs with street drivers in mind even if they are race springs. so i would think the ride quality isn't THAT badd.

well give me some time and ill post some pics. I have my car lower about 1.5"in with rims not hub caps and you can tell its lowered ,but im araid of lowering more becuase of the exhaust piping under the car it really low.

Any one have any problems with scraping that pipe?????

 
Rep Power: 416

the stock exhaust? nope, only scraped once n that was my bumper. i had a chance to get a magnaflow exhaust with custom 2.25" piping for $50 but didn't want it because i know those hang really low. not only do you scrape but it looks ugly when it hangs that low
