i installed progress springs in the front of my galant but not the back because i thought it wouldnt be even, but the back of the car looks very high. Has anyone have any pics of your side with progress springs only. I just want to see how it would look.

Progress Drop. 1.8 in Back and 2.0 in Front.

Good pic - really shows the drop well. And those are - what - 17's? 18's?

Did you put your springs on backwards? lol. The drop is 2.0" up front and 1.8" in the rear, but you typed it the other way. On the V6's the front drop is more like 2.2" - 2.25" which mine is.

Eff. Yea. It was a typo.

The Drop is a 2.0 FRONT
and a 1.8 in BACK.

I went ahead and edited my original post.

My bad :oops:

I got 18s and a progress drop...I had the front dropped for like 2 months and then I did the rear...IMO the rear looked to high before it was dropped

It could be a number of things. First of all, different cars react differently to a drop as do the actual springs. Then you have to think about whether or not others are riding on stock struts/shocks and whether they are blown or not. I know for a fact that when I was riding on my blown stock front shocks, the drop was slightly more than it was when I installed the front Koni inserts. The rear I'm not sure about because I installed the KYB's at the same time as my springs.
