For those with Progress Springs

[Black03Si]

Can someone tell me what the actual drop is for the Progress Springs? Progress lists 1.8F and 1.5R. However, it seems like all the pics I've seen of people's rides with Progress seem to have a pretty even drop. Did anyone measure before and after to see what it actually was? What about the wheel gap, is it the same front and back? It's always hard to tell just by looking at pictures.

i will post a few pics, one of measurement i just took. I will tell you that when i measured stock there was 3.5'' in the rear. All pics are of the rear, the front are virtually identical. :)

Awesome! Thanks man. That before picture is horrid. The wheel gap is bad enough, but when you center in on it like that, it makes it even worse. I think I'll being calling Showstoppers for some springs within the hour.

even the picture that i took with it lowered doesn't do the car justice. On stock wheels and tires, there is almost NO gap. :)

Here's a really good after drop pic with Falken Azenis which are 1 inch smaller in diameter than stock.

When I purchase mine last fall, I was told 1.75" all around. Then I got here and heard all sorts of different measurements. So I don't really freakin know what the truth is.

Here's mine with 17" Rota Attacks and Toyo Proxes.

now it looks like the rear is lower than the front. Is it? Or is just because the wheel is turned in the front?

Those rota attacks are nice! Do they come in bronze?

Thanks for all the response guys. I had sportlines on my last ride, and sometimes wished that the drop was just a tad bit lower. I also wanted to try something different, so I went ahead and ordered the Progress springs from Showstoppers. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I believe it was Mike at www.machiii.net that I spoke with on the phone. He charged $600 for the wheels, threw in some lugs too, I just asked. I haven't ordered anything else from him due to a man named Chuck, but he had my wheels to me across country in about a week and 1/2.

Brettnyt, thanks. I've got my SPC camber kits on now, and it even seems lower-looking due to my wheels having less camber. I need to post some pics.

The front end still has more wheelgap than the back. Like, 1 and half fingers in the back and two and half in the front...or something like that. *shrug* yay uninformative post

The progress drop is lower in the back then in the front I can't stand it; thats why coilovers are in my future. Heres a pic of the rear w/ progress.
