Icon2 (EP3) Progress C1 coilovers?

Is anyone using these, or does anybody know more about these coilovers? Quality, ride, etc? For the price ($1,100) and the fairly decent spring rates (350 front/650 rear), I'm considering picking these up. I would love to buy the KW V2's, but I can't spend that kinda cash sadly. But I am just curious to know if anyone has personal experiance with these, or if they are a good product/buy? Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the website:

I've heard good things about them. Progress makes good quality parts.

They were 2nd option on my suspension list, but went with GC/KONI combo instead for my DD use. I've heard many good things. GL.

So far they seem to be a good choice apparently. I'm currently deployed overseas right now, so the wait time doesn't really bother me so much.

I may have to pick these up. Anyone have a site that sells them at a good price? Lowest I've found so far is $995 shipped..

So which would y'all go with; the Progress coilovers, or a custom Koni/GC set up? Those seem to be the top two within my budget.

I think either one would be good choice, but ultimately, it's for you to decide bro..., afterall you're gonna be the one driving it.

Mine's sitting around 1" drop with rolling on 16x7 with 225/50/16 +35offset wheels/tires. I got mine about two weeks ago and I absolutely love mine!!! Much smoother on freeway(set at one revolution firm setting in rear and 0.75 revolution in front; they go from 0 to 2 revolutions on firmness) and on not-so-perfect chicago local streets ride quality isn't that bad at all. Definately better than my old OEM suspension. I think I'm keeping this set-up for now, but I did mess around with several different settings also. Hope it helps.
