Define cheap. What is your budget? How is the car going to be driven?

Forgot about that detail. These are not meant for slamming your car. Check the Progress website before you make a move.

There was one guy that bought these thinking he was going to get a real drop and wasn't happy at all that his ride quality was ****.

Progress is no good for dumped unless you can convince them to sell you four 500 lb springs. If your budget is $600 you'll have to settle for crappy cheapo coilovers.

Raceland Coilovers are pretty good and not to pricey in my opinion

your high.

OP, check Koni/gc. your going to need rather spring rates to support a low ride height.

500F, 350/400R

Just get GC's no need for shocks since you're gonna slam your rides gonna be crap anyways.
