Figment looks great, no rubbing with the spacers and springs?

Just installed my Progressive springs.. Should've did shocks and struts at the same time. Ride is great and hopefully it gets better with pro action non adjustable shocks.

 

[tj@steeda]

Yes, it will get better ... then add the shock mounts, it will be a great set up.

Thank you for sharing and being a Steeda customer!

Best Regards,

I ordered the shock mounts as well

have you got a side shot?...what size wheels and tires?

 

[Witj85]

I'll get one. 20x10 rear with 275-35-20, and 20x8.5 front with 255-35-20. They're Downforce wheels from LMR

I love the Downforce wheels, I just wish they offered them in a 19x10 square fit.

Probably not the greatest

Adjustability - as in single adjustable (rebound-only) damping - is worth the difference in price if there's any way at all you can reach a little higher here. Particularly if one or more of your frequent passengers has less tolerance for firmer damping than you have. IOW, you don't need to track/autocross/dragrace your car to benefit from adjustables.

The Steeda Pro-Action adjustable or fixed valve shocks will improve the ride quality with the Progressive Springs, P/P and most high performance springs.

So I have a question. I was looking at the spring rate thread.
The steeda progressive springs have a lower initial spring rate than the factory non-pp springs.
Would that make the steering numb at small steering angles?
I prefer a sensitive steering feel. Would linear springs work better in this case?

 

[Norm Peterson]

Depending on a couple of specifics, the car should "take a set" a little sooner/quicker. Not the same thing as initial response, though, which seems to be more of a tire size/construction & wheel width issue

Not at all, the rate increases rapidly under compression. For a daily driver and occasional track use they are awesome!

Thank you,
