got mine installed today, took them 3 horus for my progress springs and ingalls camber kit. looks nice and teh drive is comfy. the rear...looks even with the front...maybe that will change as the springs settle in, but hopefully not. i like it.

Rep Power: 0 i went to phlipside like you recommended. but beware! two separate people quoted me 3 hours at 50 bucks an hour. and it did turn out to 3 hours. but the real quote was 1.5 hours per wheel, at 50 bucks an hour. they were askin me to pay for 6 hours worth of work, when they only spent 3. i guess they charge according to theoretical install time. i argued with jeremy a bit then talked to boss andy and got my install at 150, instead of 300+. anyways...i doubt i'm goin back to themin the future. a bit shady if you ask me.

Rep Power: 0 Sorry to hear that... I called today and they told me it was a 4-6 hr install. I did the math... I am not paying $200-300 for an install, because likely it would be more like 6hrs. SKS gave me a quote of $243 after taxes and everything... I think I ma messing with them.

Rep Power: 280 I have the progress springs also and I hate on how the back is lower than the front but progress gives a good ride which is cool. Is your back tires "butterflying"?

Rep Power: 0 I have the progress springs and mine sag about an inch and a half more in the back. I hate the way that looks. I'm thinking about selling them.

Just to let everyone know, progress said that the reason some people's backs are lower than the front is because honda changed the depth of the spring pocket in the back on some model's. There is no particular year or way of knowing which ones are the updateded version. They just came out with the new fix-kit for the rear. I'm going to be putting them on next week. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Rep Power: 0 has anybody had this same problem with eibach sportline kits. i haven't got the Camber kit put on yet so the rear wheels are like this / \ the fronts are ok. i've had the springs for about a 2.5 weeks now i hope they have settled so when i get the camber kits installed i can see how the car looks. but i did notice that my driver side rear was lower that the passenger side, gotta get checked.
