Default PROGRESS tech tC coil over kit - on Tova *PICS*

alright, so i can't sleep....and i figured i would upload the pics i took of my coil over install today. got the PROGRESS tech sway bar, too. But that was hard to take pics of. i will take more pics tomorrow in the daylight and as it settles.

we set the coils at a 2 1/4" drop. just installation alone dropped it 1 1/4, so we dropped it another inch. right now, it sits a little high for my taste, but hopefully it will settle a lot more. otherwise, i'll just readjust them.

the ride is amazing on them. barely hits bumps at high speeds...have yet to go over a speed bump, but will test that one out tomorrow. so much of an improved ride over springs. the sway bar is awesome as well. very impressed!! took a sharp turn on my way home last night at 50 mph, when i normally would have slowed to 35. and tova took the turn with no problems.

FRONT INSTALL







REAR INSTALL





AFTER DRIVER's SIDE FINISHED



ENTIRE INSTALL COMPLETED before settling

I put my Progress stuff on my car on Wednesday. Wow you set them kinda high there. My fronts are all the way to the bottom of the coilovers and the rears are 15 threads from the bottom. My car is extremly low. You went moderate with the drop. Congrats on the coilovers. Now that makes 2 TC's rolling on them. I'll post pic later after I take them out my camera. Katzkin interior goes in on Saturday

I went moderate for now...I'll drop it all the way for shows. But I bottom out now sometimes and the front undercarriage of Tova is all scratched up, so I'm afraid to drive her dropped on 4 1/4 inches. That's so much lower than my S-techs were.

Wow that's crazy. You scrape at that height?? I had 4 people in my car going from P.A. to N.Y. and I didn't scrape even once. Even with all the nasty roads going through the Bronx a.k.a. pothole city .

The back looks stupid at full drop so I lifted it 15 threds up. But yeah the fronts are all the way down and it's much l;ower than it looks in the pictures.

Looks all the way down to me

This is the way I have the rears set. As you can see I still have a little bit more to go down at this point.
