Progress Coilovers
Why does it seem like when you order from dezod you get the coilovers in 2-3 weeks but when you order from truehonda they say 6-8 weeks???

I order mine from true Honda 2 1/2 month ago and was told 4 -6 weeks ended up changing the order for the eibach full coilovers. True Honda isn't at fault progress failed to let there vender's know they were out of parts. they just kept saying they were still being built. when i contacted them my self they told me there coilovers where on back order. I really don't know the answer to your question but Dezod probably sells more of thees than true Honda so he might just get his orders done first. true Honda has a way better $ than dezod on the progress coilovers , so if you were to get them in 6-8 weeks its worth it.

TH is probably buying through a WD and we are buying direct from Progress.
Progress ran into some hiccups with internal components on the coilovers creating some HUGE back order lists.
Furthermore, we have pricing guidlines to obide by because we are direct. They do not have to be enforced on TH's side. Hence why, they can offer lower pricing publically advetised.
Edit: If we sold at WD (his advetised price), Progress would suspend our account.

Rep Power: 255 If they had parts for his set of coilovers shouldn't they have the parts for mines? Progress should give us a free sway bar or tie bar for the wait. =)

I went with the new eibach full coilovers they have Kw SS struts and eibach springs,drop 2.6 all around (not as low as progress says). but i have read post progress doesn't go as low as they say. if you want to know more ask Edd at true Honda about them. they have great costumer service Edd is cool about answering any questions you may have.

Rep Power: 0 Not to worry (btw this is Eddie at Truehonda and our account is going crazy now on 7thgen), I keep an updated lilst on what progress is doing. They said they have the Cans for the coilovers and are starting to piece them together. The cans were the big problem so hopefully we are looking at less than a month out.
Sort of hate to do this, but I had a really bad experience with Progress. Their coilovers were not quality, the threaded sleeves rusted within the first week and a half of having them on my car, they were noisy, didn't handle like I thought they should, and their customer support was not helpful. I actually had to end up disputing my credit card charge to get my money back. Kind of a crappy deal, but I guess I learned something.

Rep Power: 255 I've heard a lot of good things about progress on RSX's and i dont think theres a big difference with civics. Kinda sucks to hear that after waiting about 11 weeks and i still have NOT recieved them 
I guess im going to have to buy some sort of spray on sealant so it wont rust.
