actually 1.5 is the drop for progress after settle isnt it?

 

Progress will drop up to 1" lower (2.5") all the way around if you load your car up with heavy stuff when breaking them in.

Sway bar is an easy mod. You will need a metric socket wrench with an extension to really torque down those strut tower bolts!!! Just removed my strut bar and there is a big difference.

You'll want to tape up the ends of your Progress springs before installing so they don't "scrape". The sound will not only worry you at times, but it's downright annoying and could be embarrassing if you have a passenger along.

Finally, I'd spray paint a few coats of my favorite suspension mod color on the anti-sway bar before hooking it up. When the car is dropped, you won't be able to see it, but it's another DIY mod that will have admirers of your ryde kowtowing in no time!!!

I don't think you need a camber kit to get the "flush" look. By modding out your you're already flushing what little resale value you may have right down the toilet, but, what the heck, if it feels good, and looks tyte, do the shyte!

Finally, I'd go ahead and order the perches ASAP. Prolly gonna be the best mod you'll ever do and definately the most noticeable handling wise. You got my respect, buddy. Keep on tunin'!

got them 17's...........
yo i HATE huntington beach, bunch of sleezy bastards.
after waiting 5+ months for my rims.... and getting lied to every single time i went in there... i finally went to put them on today.. they put the 17's on ... then before taking the car of the lift they demanded i give them my stock oz rims. They said i owed it to them and couldn't leave with my 17's and stock ...... THIS IS INSANE those 16" oz rims are part of the oz package i f-in bought on my car... i paid for it.. and on top of that i paid for the 17" full retail..( i was told it was a "deal") why on earth should they get anything else from me,greedy little bastards. anyways after waiting 2 hours (i couldn't leave because they had my car)they finally gave up and "released"my car, they said that the tires were in the trunk, i had nothing to sign and i was all set to go. I opened the car door and immediately went to readjust my seat one of the managers saw me and thought i was going to open the trunk. no sooner does he say to the machanics " you guys did put the rims in the trunk right ??" ....i popped it ASAP... no rims in trunk..... i smiled and watched them put 2 in there then they just left me to pick up and put away the other two dirty rims in my car .. no floor mat, newpapers nothing i had to steal some foam sheats from the parts department. Then after i got it then the service manager offers to help! such dirt bags.. and they got 6 evos??? i thought if you had bad customer ralation you don't get as many? i know two other dealerships that are way nicer and they don't get any evo's
