Swaying rear! Please help
I just got the progress springs and no camber kit. The front of the car is fine, but the back wheels have negative camber for sure. Every time I hit a bump, the back seems to sway side to side. If I hit only with one side of the car, it sways even more. I have 205/17/40's all around, and I dont know what to do. If I get a camber kit, wont I rub, I see that the wheels dont rub because of the camber ( I think). What should I do?

Rep Power: 323 get rear camber kits and get your car aligned. You will notice a big difference in handling for the better. With those tires you should have no rubbing problems.

Rep Power: 0 The drop is about an inch lower or 2 fingers lower in back than in front. So front has 2 finger gap and depending on weather, back has 1 to no finger gap. May look goofy on pictures but looks awsome in real life. The ride is better on sportlines, but if you wanna go low, get the progress, it is actually stiffer and higher spring rate. Good as hell on turns. Trust me, if you live in suburbs like me and dont experience many holes, get the progress. If you live elsewere, sportlines are the choice. Look at my picture under my username.

One you should get a camber kit. The camber won't affect your alignment, but it is a rule of thumb to get your car aligned when you lower or when you change the settings on your coilovers. If you camber is highly negative, get a camber kit and that will fix it. Remember not to set it completely to zero, you do want a little bit of negative camber in the rear.
Progress springs lower alot, and you stocks shocks won't last long, especially if you drive in the city.
