did not know that lol...but I have the progress springs and have no problems with them so I'm not sure what's wrong with them. I mean I haven't driven other lowered Si's. The ride is bearable and handling is a lot better then stock.

harobmx87 · 05-28-2009, 02:32 AM

they are not made by eibach.
i had a lot of noise issues and the coils slapping eachother causing the paint to come off and they started rusting. told progress about it and they checked em out and gave me new ones. i sold the new ones because i bought coilovers and the guy i sold them to had issues too and sold them to someone else who also has issues with them. =/ i dunno

I thought if you just lower with springs the handling is worse than stock?

cr0sby8790 · 05-28-2009, 01:32 PM

Hm have not noticed any rust although I do admit to the clanking. I'm gonna take my wheels off to get a better look and get back to this thread. How much of an issue is it if they are clanking? I never really paid attention to it until you said that.

Since the car is lower it gives you a lower center of gravity making your car able to take turns sharper. As soon as I put my springs on I noticed an immediate difference in body roll.
