When I first bought them, I used them with my stock struts and I wouldn't recommend this at all. My struts didn't even last for one year. I am using KYB GR-2 struts now. They seem quite durable and are pretty inexpensive, but the ride is a bit harsh on bumpy roads (even with my OEM springs). On a nice, smooth road they're excellent. I don't have experience with other brands, so I would suggest getting advice from someone who has used various brands. But, as far as Progress goes, I think they make great products. I've heard good things about their full coilover set-up as well. I think Dezod has a deal on them at the moment. Here's a pic of my drop... http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...g?t=1228270147 I'm settled, i'm going to get the Progress Springs and then Tokico Blue's. Also what size are you wheels (tires and rims) |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs I would save up your money to get a coilover system. I'm planning on getting a set of Tein Basic Coilovers. |

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs Is the Tein Basic much better than the Koni yellows with GC sleeves? I have been thinking about the koni+gc setup for a while now. I want to get rid of my stock struts and the Tein S.tech. |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs get progress coilovers. made in America, not taiwan. tein basics are a decent ride and can feel like stock with smooth roads, but there are better alternatives |

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs i would consider koni yellows and gc, the combo is proven, but there might be some mods you have to do in order to fit the yellows - im not to sure about that. but i prefer full coilovers over the sleeve kind. might be easier to adjust i guess? another thing with tein basics is that u have to reuse some OEM parts like top hat, rear dust covers, etc. kind of a pain to disassemble and reassemble. tein flex sounds way expensive and the EDFC just sounds like a waste. just adjust the dampening yourself and save a crap load of money. I think flexes are gonna be a lot mroe expensive than the progress. The only thing i hate about the progress is that the springs are ugly looking. |

I can't afford the Progress coilover system right now, nor can I afford it in a year either lol. I might try out the Koni combo in the near future :confused: until then, i'll just wait for my stock struts to blow on me and then I'll be forced to use my credit card on a new suspension system. |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs you can pick progress coilovers up straight from their anaheim shop. no need to go through middle man. |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs How much are they selling it for? |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs u can probably get it for 950 or less. |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs Wow.. haha.. My credit cards can't afford those lmfao |
Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs dont get lowering springs. i got skunk 2's and then bought tein basics two weeks after. even lowering springs with aftermarket struts suck compared to adjuatables. |

I'm familiar tokico D-specs, nice to adjuts the damper yourself...but if you want your commuter econo-ride to feel and ride like an acura...mmmm...i dunno whats the right combo. |

That is, until I came across an AMAZING deal on some Tein SS's with the pillowball upper mounts.. It's a good setup for people that want a good look with a bit of performance. Then again, it's a pain when I wanna adjust my shit. The adjustable dampering I have on mine is real nice though I thought with a coil-over set up you feel like you are riding a skateboard...:hithead: |

Not necessarily.. I was perfectly content when I had my s-tech/blue's setup.. That is, until I came across an AMAZING deal on some Tein SS's with the pillowball upper mounts..

Re: Progress Springs, Tein S Tech's, H&R Springs I've never dealt with tein basics so I can't tell you how stiff it is, but my ss's have adjustable dampering.. It's really about how much money you wanna spend. For shits and giggles on a cross country road trip, I set it at it's max soft setting, and it was kinda nice. I drive around (daily driving, mind you) at 6/16 all around, 1 being the stiffest. But, like I said, I was perfectly happy with the s-tech/tokico blues combo when I was running that setup. |
