Default Progress spring/sways install yesterday..

Despite a nasty ice storm coming down all day yesterday, props to Willard, who worked very hard with me to get the install done!

We were able to get the Springs and Front and Rear swaybars into the car and it sure looks better lowered, but I can't tell if I'll get any fender rub from my track tires (225/45ZR17 Azenis). The weather is pretty bad, I was lucky to make it home last night on my stock tires.
Now just need an alignment and then it's off to VIR this weekend for NASA-VA's track event.
Wish me luck!

No brews needed - ask Will for it... It's in the garage.
When I need R-comps for my 16s this summer, we'll talk.

Yep. Sport springs with front (25mm) and rear (22mm) sways. The rear support that the sway bolts to is sweet - very solid and high quality.

Got the alignment done today - Front: Slight toe-in (about .05-.06 degrees), rear no toe; haven't put in camber adjustment kits yet (Progress is due to release theirs within the next few weeks). Front camber is practically zero, rear about 2.1 degrees.
Honestly, since I really don't know much about how these should be set, I tried to get them as close to stock specs as possible.

I'll know how the car handles after this weekend at VIR...

How about a pic, so we can admire the drop of the progress springs. Looking forward to see how it handles on the track,

I'll try to get a good pic posted shortly - the few I have are in the garage and look terrible - the weather is finally cleared up here in NC.
Just got the alignment done yesterday and the car feels much more solid than before the spring/sway install.
