ok i have a question about coilovers. I noticed some people have these on their xBs and want to know why do these seem to be better than getting springs and a new set of shocks/struts. Also since the price of them are really high, do these ever have to be replaced like normal shocks? For the price i would think not...

 

I bought my progress set because no shock/strut combo would drop my xB low enough. They do not need to be replaced, but will need to be rebuilt after quite some time(replace seals and such).

Hope that helped.

that does kinda help. i was thinking bout saving up for these but i dunno if i could fork over over $1000 for them...

 

My progress kit was only like $700 haha.

Partshippers.com
Ptuning.com

both carry that set.

 

what shocks would go with the Progress Coilover??

been seriously thinking about gettin them
but worried what shock would go with these??

 

all you need is the rear and i think monroe is what people have ben using with them

 

I use the monroe 5870 rear shock. rides good.

what about for the fronts??

 

lol well for the front your going to have a coilover lol have you ever seen what coilovers look like in the front to a xb? you replace your whole strut but in the rear you have a beam with sep shocks so yeah but most people use the shocks mentioned above

 

oh my bad Mr. know-it-all

i just wanted to make sure

 

lol sorry what coilovers you looking at?

 

i want the progress since they're decently priced

just wanted to know about the shocks to match 'em

 

wait...so you still have to buy shocks for them???

 

Just rear shocks, which will run you around 100/pair for Monroes.

I run Tokico HP's (#HE3763) with my Progress coilovers.

 

I would personally go with K-sports. You won't need to buy any rear shocks. It comes with everything. Front Coilovers, Rear Spings, Adjustable spring perch's, Adjustable Rear Shocks plus the shocks also have 36 different dampening adjustments you can make depending on how hard of soft you want the ride. I love my set that I have on my box.

 

hey how much are the K-sports and do they
go lower than the progress??

 

K-sports are about $1400. Progress goes down 4" and k-sport goes down 3"-3.5".

 

You can get K-sports for about $800.00 depending where you can get them. I have mine dropped 3" and can easily go another inch. When I first installed my coilovers I had to keep raising up the coils from the factory setting because the fronts sat on the inner liner.

 

where have you seen them for 800. everywhere i looked they were 1400. that why i spent that 1400 to get me a complete airbag setup.

 

I run progress and Koni's in the back...works great
