Progress Springs on the TC!

Had the Progress springs installed on the car today. No fitment problems at all. So far so good, rides nice almost like stock.

BEFORE PICS





AFTER PICS (center caps are gone cause they are being painted)





And a comparison between H&R vs Progress Springs

Thanks!

I went to the shop today to have them install the Pedders springs I bought, those didn't fit. So they asked me if I wanted Progress springs since they're nearby. That's how I ended up with Progress

So far the ride is pretty good, the roads here aren't bad so I'll have to wait until tomorrow when I hop on the freeway.

Whats the best price some one has found on these? Sorry I have been searching all day for SS/TC strut part numbers and haven't found anything yet so I don't really feel like searching any more I have also been looking at possible the SSC springs aswell.

Look in the supporting vendor deals section on the home page. THMmotorsports has them on sale. I have Progress springs also. They will settle a bit more after a few weeks. I like the H&R Sport drop also. I may want to go a bit lower now that I have 19's, so they are a possibility... or coilovers.

How much more will they settle?

We only tried the rears, but the last coil on the springs were too small for the bump stops to go through it

Yeah, they are tight, you need to put the bump stop plates into the spring, I mallet helps, then install them onto car. Filing off the ribs on the bumpstops helps a lot.

We tried trimming/cutting the plate still with no luck.
