Sexymommymissesher97 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have a 06 Legacy 2.5i limited and was looking at getting Progress springs with front and rear sway bars. Was wondering if anybody has that combo & what they think? What type of struts should work well with that. If anyone has good combos that work I would love the help.

Sexymommymissesher97 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I test drove a gt and the suspension was still not tight enough. Also I like the look of a lowered car. I had a 97 gt .That had KYB AGX adjustable struts and Eibach sport springs so I am spolied with tight handling & I want that back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt4Me Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Look elsewhere. Front bar doesnt fit and rear bar extra support brackets are still unavailable. Look for some springs with some added material(plastic, rubber coating) on the bottom coil to combat CLUNK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I still have my iON's on. Your welcome to ride along to see if you like them. (Towson) I have heard the KYB is developing struts for us. They might be a nice compliment to the iON's. I think the iONs work really well with the stock struts. Some people with Teins have experienced some bounciness. Others like Pinks. Sways...Cusco or maybe even Cobbs which just came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0ebert Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The Progress springs should be fine on that car. 1.3" in the front and 1.0" in the back. Also the reinforcement brackets for the RSB are done, just awaiting the production run of them. You can get that rubber material to wrap around the springs anywhere, that's not really an issue.

OhBe1 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I believe KYB is considering only GR-2's. 06LOB2.5i MT, JDMRSB, GYTTs, HPS, LGT Mufflers & Leather Wheel, SubiMomo Knob, Inalfa Moonroof, Clutch Switch Bypass, DeDRLd, DeChimed, & Straight Headrest.

Sexymommymissesher97 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 What are the GR-2's .I would really like to stick with the KYB/Eibach combo I had on my 97 gt and it worked wonderful & no mods were required. Just switch and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 the progress springs are very simmilar to the h-tech i have had both Do not buy progress swaybars!!!! the front will bind on the tie rod - steering is good bent tie rod is bad (they are a repackaged wrx bar w/ new bushings) and the rear is poorly designed and will clunk on the rear control arms w/o adjustable endlinks!!! i have pictures if your really intersted progress know about this but i after working with them for 2 months i gave up on them and modified the front bar myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt4Me Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I sold my front bar for what I paid for a used perrin. Broke the rear sway Mounting tab(drivers side), waiting over 6 weeks(oh manufacturering delay, oh going to plate, maybe soon...) for the added support brackets...no holding my breath though. Progress has known about the problems for over 9+ months and to my knowledge still selling the wrong front bar. And as I said before the springs lack anti-clunk, why should a buyer have to source the fix for a part they manufactured? Luke warm service for less the average parts.
