Progress Spring PICS

I just got done with my Progress spring drop. Pretty easy job.. These are 1.4 FRT and 1.3 BK. Got them off of Ebay for 155.00 shipped. The ride is just like stock and maybe better. The backs haven't leveled out yet since it has only been 2hrs.

Its hard to tell from the shadow, but look at the front nose to the ground.




After shots...




PIC with it settled

Looks sweet. Much more aggressive stance then stock. Just gotta watch out for those steap driveways and speed bumps...

Nice, although i am going to go with the eibach sportline, 1.4'' front and back. The alignment shop your going to, do they have the camber adjustment kits already? so they will just align the car, and put the new camber kit on? what about endlinks?

I will have to get the camber adjustment later. I just want it to go straight now. I can care less for the crap tires. I will have to save up some money for the camber kit.

If you're looking for drop and not handling don't get the HFP. Drop is less than an inch...barely noticable. My Teins will be here Monday

looks really nice. I think black makes the car look lower as-is. I don't know where your from but I hope it doesn't snow there!

what is the drop on the Progress? I'm leaning towards HPF to keep it at an inch (.8 will settle to that at least). My 01 integra had a 1.8" drop and it settled to almost 2.5". No thanks! I don't want to go that low again.

1.4 front and 1.3 back. The car is level now. I kind of wish the back was a tad higher, But I'm pleased
