I'm buying an xA. Need coilover help (progress tech?)
Hi,
I've read the suspension FAQ. I want to get the xA I buy lowered a bit.
This is going to be my commuter car. 70miles a day to and from work. No racing.
My goal is that I want it lowered without being 'bouncy'. The TRD setup is not out of the question, but another 1" lower would be nice.
There don't seem to be too many posts about the Progress Tech. coilover kit for the xA. The price seems too good to be true url: ($699?)
"This kit will allow a rolling ride drop of around 2.75" to be set for driving and still be very comfortable without any issues"
That statement too seems, too good to be true.
If anyone can help I have a bunch of questions:
1) Is progress tech indeed "too good to be true"?
2)Does anyone have experience with an xA + this progress tech coilover setup? Hows' the ride? etc.
3)What camber kit do you recommend for the progress tech for a daily commuter? I'm interested in not wearing out the tires too fast. (camber and toe in adj would be nice)
Thanks everyone!

I just got an XA also and put some 18"s on it. It left a huge fender gap so I had to go lower. I just bought some Eibach Pro Kit springs after thinking about getting coil overs. I asked around and coil overs will give you a stiffer harsher ride. I'm a daily commuter also so this was out of the question. I was recommended the springs so I got em from tirerack.com for $201. now I'm just looking for the best price in my area to install.
feel free to email me at jeff@partshippers.com and i'll show you photos etc of the kit installed. its really really nice
