Does it feel alot stiffer in the corners? A good freind of mine will be getting these springs installed on his '06 STi tomorrow and is looking forward the eliminated wheel gap. Just curious to know your impressions of a before and after experience. Looks very good and seems to add more to an already aggresive stance :cool:

Yes this made a huge difference. The car stays MUCH flatter in turns and doesn't push like it used to....:D

the STi's drive like they are on a rail when you lower them with good lowering springs

Thats great I may have to look into that in the future. Who makes progress springs or are they their own company/brand? I've heard of Progressive sway bars and springs but not Progress? I wonder how they compare to Prodrive or STi pinks?

Man that looks good! The wheel gap is completely eliminated and it even makes the wide fenders accent the width of the BBS's. Looks Great on both cars you guys!

So I take it after these springs are installed any form of off road rally excursions are completely out of the question?? ;)

I also have the progress springs on my 02 Wrx. I believe they are 1.3/1.8 in drop for mine. Great springs I can defintley notice my suspension to be tighter and I can corner faster. I have heard that Progress springs are made by Perrin or something like that at a more affordable price.

I just had a set put on today. I love em. What a difference, especially in the turns.

you can't go wrong with them. They are like $190. IMO much better than Teins and other springs.

Man what a difference it makes in the look and feel of your STi! That plus your 3" TBE you added today too just really put the whole driving experience to a whole different level! :-o
