I have the Progress Technologies springs New In Box. I bought back in Feb and then put on a body kit. Kit + Springs would be too low for my liking.

Features -Front drop: 1.2" --- Rear drop: 0.8" -Front rate: 205 lbs/in --- Rear rate: 145 lbs/in

$125 shipped to PA if purchased today. I can ship them tomorrow.

Probably should have saved your money (ebay fees) and just listed on here, not a big market for rear lowering springs only.

The 20" wheels wont cause rubbing unless you have an odd sized tire or wheel offset.

Well it does, LOL, maybe the struts are lower too because they are not height adjustable and it came as a strut/spring lowering kit? but ithought the springs was what determined the height

Well how much you would you offer for all rear and front? of course the front springs have about 6-7k miles vs the rears 100... but imight be willing to take them off

That all sounds so......not right. $500 for what I assume to be NEW tokico struts and springs? $80 for just springs? rubs with springs so he is getting coilovers? megan racing camber kit? Maybe it's just me. I'm just saying be cautious.

OK LOL i want new coilover so i can adjust the height, the tokico you can only adjust stiffness..i was using the camber kit as an example of megan racings prducts if you decided to just go with the new springs. nyway let me knw if your interested so i can take them off this weekand, will send pics but they are in good shape as well. trhe only thing that rubs i my tires when i lowered it, but thats because i have 20's

I don't want to muck up this thread, but you don't need a camber kit unless you are freaking slammed. Factory suspension is plenty adjustable otherwise. You don't rub because you have 20s. You rub because of tire selection or wheel offset. I hate when people don't understand something, so I'm just trying to keep inaccuracies as few and far between as possible regarding stuff I do know.

pehaps you can explain to me what offset is ideal, and wont rub then? and i keeep telling you that its an example, just because you already have something doesnt mean you cant upgrade it. i never said anything about needing to have it, so stop assuming huh?

That's cool. I like buying and installing things that make absolutely no difference also. What offset works? Well I don't know anything about your wheels besides that they are 20s. So my answer will be not the offset you have. If you are serious, post in the will it fit thread with your wheel width, tire width, wheel offset, and how low you are so that I can really tell you what is wrong.

PS: Your posts were bringing up a red flag because they looked like the posts of the last few people that scammed somebody. Not saying you are running a scam, but I thought I should at least make him aware. I hope you are an awesome person that has no intent on screwing somebody but it's better to be safe.
