Thread: Which Coilovers?? $900 to spend!

Progress are not discontinued, they just don't have any on the shelf. I got mine not to long ago, just had to wait for them to be made. Took awhile, but very happy with the product. Super high quality, if I had the extra dough I would have gone the hotbits route, but those are crazy pricey!

Forget the K2, D2.... route, hit or miss whether they will blow out. Just my opinion though.

The B13 coil-overs are being reviewed and may be discontinued. There are no kits currently available.

Hi,
I just ordered a set of your coilovers from THmotorsports and was just curious as to your turnaround time on these, they are for a 91 sentra se-r b13. They told me they had to be drop shipped directly from you.

Thanks,
Nick

Thats a copy of the email I got from Progress

Terry stocks b13 coilovers? Shit ill have to check that out. Had a set on my s13 and they rode beautifully.

They said they could make them but I haven't had the money to spend on them. I have to buy a set for my S14 1st then I can buy another set.

has anyone ever had the hotbits coilovers?

I don't know why more people don't go with the Tein. They are 16 way adjustable,(so they don't have to be re-valved every time you change spring rates), have 3 different spring rates to choose from(in 50 LB increments) and Tein rebuilds them for about 75.00 a piece plus shipping.

People complain that Teins springs are to stiff but that's because they come with track springs rated at 450 pounds front and 340 pounds rear.
I ordered a set of the 336 pound front and 224 pounds rear springs for my B13 and found them to be very comfortable, in fact they felt too soft to me once my sub-frame braces were installed.

I never saw any advantage to Progress over Tein other than price, but you get less with Progress than with Tein.

So $900 coilovers turned into $2,600 coilovers and spring and shock combos?

My question is... what's the goal of having these? What kind of driving do you plan to do? Be realistic. That will help you choose your suspension set up. Don't spend all this money and go to the extreme just to just end up being a Hardparker.

Try calling them, I actually got the same response when I emailed them. When I called, granted I do own a performance shop so I don't know if thats an advantage, but I told them what I was building and was there anything they could do.

She told me they 3 unbuilt sets on the shelf. It was a 4 month turnaround, but I got them

Great customer service. Sometimes persistence works, sometimes it does not. Not trying to push the issue just telling you my story

Good luck with the suspension search!

Go with Tein if you can't get Progress!

The only $900 coilovers worth having would be used from Progress. IMO everything else for $900 or less is junk and not even worth buying.

And unless you need coilovers for some reason, Stef is right on. The best bet in the price range you want would be jumping in on the Hyperco group buy and getting some CSK's made.
