Christmas for my RSX-s, Progress Coils, FIKSE Forged

[PTCDC5]

I am very excited to get them on. I have only heard great things about them. What do you run now?

I went to Function & Form to go a little lower in the front. In retrospect, the fraction of an inch wasn't worth it. I ended up tearing my CV boots because of the way the shock body threads down through the main coilover body. To avoid that you have to screw with the preload which leads to poor ride quality.

Yes they are.

For whatever reason though, they are very squeaky on my car.

The Progress are NOTORIOUS for noise, it has to do with the free floating spring design. All you can do it slather the springs and perches with synthetic grease, that's will solve the noise 95% of the time. Your noise should be coming from the rear correct Andy?

Yep. I usually just hit them with some wd40 and that hold it off for awhile.

I will throw some grease on mine as i am installing them tonight and tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on the noise



That sucks! What are you getting?

Both of you also check to make sure the rear shock bodies are not contacting the trailing arms. As you know, Progress builds their coilovers in production runs. Nearly every run has revisions. There is a version that had this clearance issue; I had to notch my arms. In later runs Progress started grinding down the bottom of the shock bodies.
