Default People with Progress coilovers

Can you give me a review of how you like them. Ride quality, how low are you dropped for daily driving, are there squeeks, rattles or any noises associated with them? It looks like a real nice kit and a great price.

I would like to know because I had a 98 Sentra with ground controls and KYB AGX's all around and it was the most horrible experience suspension wise I did to a car. The rattles I had and the percheswhere you adjust the height got eaten away by the spring rubbing it (I think).

I am looking to order them hopfully by early next year but nervous because of the Ground Control experience.

I'm very happy with mine. the ride is good on the freeway, but if you get on a bad road.....wear a back brace. I ride on mine with 17" wheels at about a 3.25-3.5" drop. Pics are in my profile if you want a peek. The back are lod all the way down with subs/Amps/Box in the back of the vehicle and the front has plenty of room to go lower, but my wheel offset keeps me from going lower.

I do rub at this height if I hit a bad dip at higher speds.

Overall, for the money, I don't think you can get any lower. I am very happy with them and the quality of the components are very good. Be sure to also invest in some low slope ramps.


Here is an example of how it sits compared to xB's that are slightly lowered(I think TRD Drop).

I'm running them along with TRD Struts and shocks on 17" rims.No problems with them rubbing or any noises.Be prepard for a stiff ride.I think you would get that with any dropped springs and changed suspension.Check out my profile for a look.

their price is def. attractive! I have mine on order w/partshippers....last ETA was 4-6 weeks (prob about two weeks ago) -- and that was directly from Progress.

I called the number provided on autosportstyle's site and I really don't like the feeling I get from that place...but who knows. Lets see how they respond to my e-mail.

I'm curious to find out if anyone else has shopped with them too...If they have the sets readily available, I may be taking my order to them!

I said:

I am e-mailing about the Progress Tech Coilovers you have listed for the Scion xB (03-06). I currently have them on order at another dealer, and they said I am about 4-6 weeks out. When do you have these available to ship? Do you have them in your physical inventory? I am willing to re-place my order with you guys if you can get them to me in a timely fashion (i.e. considerably less than my current ETA).

My other question is this: I am in California, the place I am currently going through isn't charging me tax, and has been very generous on shipping. Would state tax be applicable? And how much would shipping cost? Finally, what would total cost to my door be?

Thanks,

Charlie


They said:

Dear Customer,

1. We are out of stock on this item and no good ETA from manufacturer is available at the moment.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause to you.

2. Sales tax is being charged ONLY for Nevada orders.

3. Shipping cost estimator is available in shopping cart.

Sincerely,

Oh well...it was worth a try!

had them on for 2 days now and i hate them. spring setup is too soft and they ride like shi t. i dont like that you cant change stiffness on the shocks ( in the front). i even added koni yellows in the back. and it still sucks. i ride really low on all my cars. i even tried rasing it to just a small drop and it still rides the same. my 2 cents save your money. im looking to sell them any takers 500 shipped?
