Progress springs with 18"s

Will the rrm progress springs cause my 18" rims rub? And is that a typo on there page 1.3in the front and .5 on the rear? I thought they would have tryed to level the ride more!

Shouldn't be a problem. Those are only 10mm wider than stock, and are actually slightly smaller in diameter.

FWIW, my Progress springs leveled my car nicely. The rear stayed about where it was at, or maybe even raised up a hair. The front dropped down so they look level.

did it stiffen up the ride at all? And do you notice any change in handaling? I figured this would just be a cosmetic thing!

215s are going to rub. That is a nice tire but 205 is about as big as you want to go. Springs or no springs, under full compression the 215 is eventually going to hit.

ROAD/RACE

But will the progress springs stiffen the ride up at all?
