      Progress springs....but what shocks to get?

      So not sure what i want to do. I would love to get the progress coilovers, but i'm being impatient. I think it might be cheaper to piece it together. So if i did piece it what shocks would mate good with the progress springs. Brand new OEM (havent even look to see if i can find them new) or Tokico HP. Or should i just stop actin like a little kid and hold out till i save that little extra difference for the real deal.

      Save a little more the coilover are on backorder so when they start selling them again you can get them.

      Thats right!!!! Totally forgot that they were. Any news on how much longer? Still though is there a good setup for those springs? Also would it be less reliable since your mix matching companies/parts

      Progress does not keep an inventory of assembled struts, they are assembled to order, usually at least a month or two wait, as they wait for more orders for that specific strut.

      The point of me mix matching is to save money from the coilovers, while still havign a great combination. So its really great to know that the Dspec shocks are nice with progress springs. But was it cheaper then getting the progress coilover setup? If it isn't then performance wise was it worth it to spend a little extra to get a few extra adjustments?
