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.

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: 303 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 define butterflying. so far...the drop looks even. did yours look like that at first and then sag into the uneven state?

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: 417 thats BS cause its been like that ever since progress springs came out. all the cars i've seen, the rears were lower. and why is it that none of the rears are lower with other reputable springs

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.
