j0ebert Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Lots of other options out there too. I've had the most experience with Progress and i've got no complaints thus far (http://progressauto.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=290).

mylgt1 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 I did think about Progress for the price and I have there sways with no issues but it seems like nobody uses them for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby600 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have swifts, they are okay. There is absolutely no wheel gap for me at all, I cant even get one finger in. I do have 18's tho if that matters, but I think overall diameter is close. Ride is a tad jarrings sometimes with my 35 profile tires and these springs. I do drive over really crappy roads tho. Also my front bumper hates me now. It is a little scuffed up on the bottom from not really being able to clear some entrances to parking lots, driveways, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Chu Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Swift does give you a nice drop and handling, but if you want your car to live longer...and if you care about your kidney...I'd suggest not to use them. I have them on my car, I love them, but just, the ride is just too harsh. But if you end up getting a swift and bilstein combo, it'd be a perfect match in my opinion.

Dr.Chu Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Plus, I have gone through two wheel bearings already, not sure if it is because of the harsh ride. South Coast Subaru l Firestone of Rowland Heights l Yimi Sport l Koyorad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylgt1 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 I wish Prodrive made a spring for the lgt had them on my wrx and those were absolutely perfect:wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 your ride quality will be determined by your struts, not the springs. for the most part all aftermarket sprind so is lower the car. Yes they are alittle stiffer, but that much stiffer. In anycase, the stock strut is too soft to really handle the newer aftermarket springa nd are also not designed to operate in with lowing springs since the shock would operate out of its intended range. ao , stock shocks with aftermarket spring will owere you car but you will have a somewhat bouncy ride.
