Here is where I purchased.

I believe there are other coilover sets that drop you lower.

I had to take out the adjustment collar in the rear so I would not have so much of a raked stance.

I have HKS Hypermaxs.

They are about the same as progress, but the ride on these things are amazing. Way better than stock.

Yea... I hear you. Probably part of the reason why they are priced lower then other coilover sets. I have no complaints and I have had them on for a while now. Great handling.

I'm really considering snagging a set soon...
Partshippers has the Progress @ $700 and Tein Basic @ 800.

Which are better? Is the Tein worth the extra $100?

The Tein's come with rear shock absorbers that facilitate their design. I'm guessing that would be why they are listed 100 over the progress. I ended up selling my Waydo shocks and struts so they were never used. I am still rolling on the rear shocks that came with the car the day I bought it. I would have expected them to give out by now, but they seem to be holding strong.

Either way, if you decide to install coilovers, don't sleep on the alignment. I read repeatedly on SL to do so and didn't listen. Mainly because I was messing with the height for about a week. On top of that it took me a week to find a shop that could perform an alignment on a car this low. At that point I chewed through a perfectly good set of tires.

I have no experience with Tein Basics so I would not be able to comment on what the "better" set up is. It's all subjective anyway.

while we're still keeping this thread alive

what i picked up from this thread is that the progress coils go nice and low but the ride quality is harsh/bumpy.. right?
which coilovers offer comfortability and lowness?
