Progress Tech Sways, Street Springs with Koni's
 
Anybody have experience with the Progress Technology Street Springs? I already have the Progress sways and will be adding Konis with the springs. I figure it would be safer to stay with progress tech since I already have their sway bars.

I'm looking for enhanced street handling and a ride height drop of about 1.5 in., just wandering if anyone has impressions of these springs. Did a search, but didn't find anything.

Thanks

i dont think they have been making springs for RX8's very long.

Progress makes great stuff and they have been doing it for a while. I would bet the springs are great but what is the price? I doubt they actually make the springs though.

I would go with the progressive springs for $85.00 more.

that drop is kind of weak LOL but Progress makes good stuff. I would try them out.

Just orderd the set! Cant wait to try them out. The spring rates are just a Hair lower then I would have liked but the jump to to the auto X springs was to much. They have one of the higher rates of lowering springs on the market about on par with the Tein S pkg.

anyone have anything to add to this?
i think i am about to get some of these
i want something with a high spring rate like the S techs but not so much drop
these fit the bill

I have a se tof the Progress tech sport springs with koni's and I like them. I also have the PT front bar and AP endlinks and I like the whole set up. You can expect the drop to be a bit more than advertised (this is just my impression since I did not do any before and after measurments. The body roll is almost totaly gone and the ride is not too harsh. S/H Tech (Tien) and tocikos would be another oprion. I think you will be happy either way. i will look for a picture that shows my drop to post it here.

Done!

PS, I don't think they ever made the Auto-x springs. From what I recall there was not enough intrest to make it financially vaible.
