I am not defending cheap options nor defending expensive proven options.

You guys need to keep in mind not everyone is building a road race car. As sad as it is some people just want an affordable drop and they do not worry about the "best" suspension/ride out there.

Yeah, but in the same breath, they all say, "it's actually not bad at all! I can race on these!"

That is what bugs me as well.

Folks having owned two (2) suspensions, no engineering degree, no racing experience, or any other form of real expertise. They have tried OEM and "El Cheapo Coilovers" and then say "these are great, they work on my daily, they are not too harsh, I don't bottom out, my suspension geometry is OK with my 2" drop, you don't need anything better on a daily, etc...etc..."

If folks want to try them out, awesome. I'll be here for the reviews.

I agree with you both but. at the same time I will say it again not everyone is looking for that perfect suspension combo.

I for one am a drag racer at heart. As long as the ass end is stiff I am ready go

I know not many agree but, I for one am more than happy with my GC / AGX combo with my progress rear sway bar. Does the job for me and I get the drop I want.

I know where you're coming from, but I'm tired of people tuning their cars for the sake of posing by their "race cars." That's why their called posers!

(If there's any justice, Raceland will send a set to MotoIQ for an honest review. I know Progress or even Tein would do it.)

If it looks like a race car it has to be a race car. Right?

they do not need to copy off anyone, just make it like i said and it will be a nice set up.

FYI, Ksport and etc coilovers are not stock height housing, that's not even an issue. they use pre-made/re-valve threaded housing. 9.5" up front and 11" in the rear for my old k-sport. I forgot the measurement of my Progress, but someone local has it and I guess I can measure them up one day.

it's like a universal strut that you can use different mounts and it will fit nearly all the cars out there. (not saying that it's ideal)

there housing do serve a good purpose. to house some nice inserts.
