All of the Progress stuff is fully rebuild-able.

I know on the regular progress ones the front top hats are needed off of the stock shocks, but suppposedly these only needed the rear... are they not on the picture, or will we need the stock front too?

BTW these look sick

i think the hats are the black pieces the front struts are sitting on and the plates are the round silver deelies on the right of them?

Fronts will have both. Rears have both too, but you will use the stock black "shrouds" on top of our pieces for the rear. It's a very complete kit.
Apparently it's supposed to have everything, but I don't see everything.

Not sure what you guys think you don't see there other than the camber bolt kit which IS included at no extra charge. Perhaps the instructions will help once they arrive this week!

What we are wondering is where is the top mount, like for the front, where the 3 bolts hold onto the car? The triangular part.
Like these:


(minus the camber adjustments)

This is why I wanted pictures because pictures talk more than words.

Like these:
Progress denotes this on their coils, and these will be the same. Dan can you confirm?

"-Kit does NOT include the black OEM top hats. This kit is designed to reuse the OEM top hats."

Yeah, Paul...that should be about right. Our camber is gotten from the bottom via the spindle. Later the DG-Spec camber plates will seamlessly be an upgrade for those who want even more adjustment. Plus the tophats shown don't have any caster adjustment. Ours will and do.

Also, please understand...the overall quality of that kit shown is far below our kit. Our cans, springs, shafts, and hardware are better in every way, and our valving and rates are based on years of competition development (in excess of 20,000 race miles). No one else can say that.

You are spot on Dan! Not one other company producing coilovers for this application can boast that at all! Dan pours his heart and soul into the car at the track. Anyone whom knows him and interacts with him on and off the track knows exactly what I am speaking about. This passion is then taken into his DG Spec line-up, which is why we offer this to you guys at an excellent, competitive price.

Dan's gotcha covered. He is also releasing some cool camber plates VERY soon.
