While on the topic, BGR, didn't you have the progress spring too?? My question is, did you have to cut the foam stopper thingy in half?? Or was there nothing to be done prior to putting the progress springs on?

i cut mine off in half 8)Originally Posted by NRG
Yes I have the Progress springs and bought them from PTuning. No cutting and I had a shop put them on for $150. It took about 45 minutes for the install.Originally Posted by NRG
Hope I am as fortunate as you on not needing a camber kit........I too ordered mine from Ptuning and will be putting them on soon....

I can pretty much guarantee you won't need one. Just remember, it's ok to have up to -2 degrees of camber. If you have +2 degrees, then you'll want and need a camber kit. +2 would mean that the wheels are pointing outwards from the car at the top. -2 would be slanting towards the car and actually helps in cornering.
If its -2 and slanting towards the inside, wouldn't the tires rub the springs when going up and down??

nope. trust me. I have -2 on just 1 wheel while the other 3 are at 0. There hasn't been any uneven wear thus far.
my mistake. I have -2.5 degrees on the 1 rear wheel. It looks the same in the top pic, too. It was probably like this from the factory.
mine ended up looking like that after about a month of settling. as far as cutting the bumpstops,; its kinda up to you. some say that it gives you more play when you hit bumps so you dont bottom out so to speak, but its not that necessary
I am going a little off topic on this but its related to suspension....I have a torque wrench that can only do 150 max...And I read the service manual and I believe it said that some bolts on the suspension needs to be torqued at 200+....What can I do?? I ain't got an air gun.....

Just thought of another question......If I get the KYB adjuster with my Progress springs, I wouldn't need a spring compressor anymore right? Don't just slip on?
Thanks Pinoy, I can always count on you!!

But why would I need to take the stocks apart when I have a whole new set of struts and spring??

good question. i was reading on club 3g that you had to compress the front springs when u go to install them...Originally Posted by NRG

:shock: The freakin camber kit is more than the damn springs.
If I got these, would I need to replace the hydrolic thingies? I don't know about the engine stuff. I'm the car audio expert.
Will trade audio advice for suspension advice. :retard:
I have the Progress springs as well, I did cut the bump stops in half and you do need a spring compressor unless you buy a real coilover/damper suspension. You see, even with the KYB's or Koni inserts(I have KYB in the rear and Koni in the front), you still need the hat/top of the stock shocks and struts and you need to compress the new springs to get the hats/tops on. As far as camber, my rear was -2 and I chose to get a camber kit. I actually think having a camber kit is what is making my 18's rub the rear fenders occaisionally. If I still had the -2 camber, I don't think they would rub because they are barely rubbing now.Originally Posted by NRG
