pay more then 500 dollars for it and id be willing to bet you can start to get a softer ride.
mine definately is.
and im sure AMR can make it like riding on a soft fuzzy blanket.

as to the OP. progress. not my favorite but your on a budget so you get what you get. or save up for another month maybe 2? and buy a good set of koni/GCs.

Unqualified suggestion. You have no direct experience with these yourself?

I'm not trying to slam my car by any means. Just a little lower and whatever I buy is an upgrade from cut springs that's on the car now

When will the world stop eating misinformation. If you want the best for the bang slammed coilover it's Function & Form Type I series.

- Just choose the best coilover that fits your preference and needs, after some intensive research, There will be bashers for every coilover out there. Choose what works best for your "needs" and make an educated decision.

lmao, some of you guys are recommend stuff that is very unsafe, function and form? blox, whatever the other two where.. lol jesus

you guys gotta start reading up/learning your ****..

progress is the only decent, crafted shock company. You can walk in and see them made, they have been raced and have a history of sales..

every other company, including skunk buys from anther company.. ships, then stickers/boxes are built.

Hmm.. i think this will be my 4th article.. i will start a coil over company and buy some just to show you guys how shitty these things are...

So why do you all disss like blox so much...bloxs pro drags are only 500, 530$...and hold 600 700whp well.. blox will be my next set up

But to the OP id go with a skunk2 street set.. grate DD set up..i love mine..

you say you want soft.. unless you just "cruse".. your not going to like your "softer" set up

Partly because people with the grammatical skill of a 2nd grader defend their products.

Partly because it's the status quo.

Partly because years of mixed reviews on Blox, Ksport, D2, etc have led to the consensus being against them.

Because Blox has been known for producing products that fail in short amounts of time. I'd know, I had a set of Blox LCAs and the bushings didn't last a year.... Whereas my OE bushings lasted ~12years/200k miles and still looked good when coming out. Replaced those crap Blox LCAs with Function7s years ago and they still look new.

Saying their coilovers can handle 700whp is meaningless. I assume you're talking about drag racing... Down a smooth, straight 1/4mile strip.... Ever been to a road course? Go see how many people who race there use ANY Blox products. You'd be lucky to find 1 out of the hundreds LOL. That's proof enough..

Some people want mild rate springs for spirited street use. I'm one of them. I leave the abusing 650/800 springs for running my autox car.. I find that a very mild drop, with rates only slightly higher than stock, a small rear swaybar and very good all season tires makes for a very fun yet comfortable ride for everyday use with my daily driver.
