Default Did I make a mistake? Progress springs/sway bar kit.

Hey all, I just bought the Progress Tech 2" spring/rear sway bar kit from PartShippers.com, after doing a few days worth of reading up as much as I could on suspension mods.

I'm not 100% confident in my purchase, as I've never ridden in anything other than the dealer xBs, and therefore have NO experience of any type of lowering spring in an xB to judge by.

I'm hoping those with Progress springs (and?) sway bar can let me know their opinions. What should I expect? Would you buy the kit again, or atleast the springs again, for those with another or no sway bar? Will I have neutral camber with that drop and the 15'' steelies/tires?

I know there's 100 types of lowering springs and companies that make them, so I hope this thread doesn't get filled with "you should've got..XXXX, mine are great!" Although I appreciate the advice, it's a little late for me now and I'd like to keep this specific to my question, as much as possible.

Thanks Lip, it's nice to see some pics with that kit on 15" wheels (my setup). Your thread was a big part of my ordering this kit over the others.

Would still like some feedback from someone not getting parts/money off of Progress Tech and/or their parts.

my comment:

ProgressAuto does wonderful work! if Toyota trusts them to put their parts in the Pro/Celeb tCs.. that's good enough for me.

Hey Lip. Any idea when I should expect my springs/sway to be shipped/received? Does it come with install instructions of some type? I have the spring/sway bar install threads bookmarked, too.

Also, what tools are needed to install?

Thanks.
