I see u are looking to buy a progress RSB, I called about 20 plAces that said on the website that they where in stock, but when I called they where all on back order, I even called Progress co. they are ALSO on backorder but told me heeltoeauto just grabed his last bunch, so call marcus at heeltoe auto to see if he has anymore in stock and if u ship it fed-ex and type TSXROCKS in the coupon code it comes out to $162.79
shipped...

im probably going to wait a bit to see how you like it then ask questions and then maybe buy it. Im just thinking about all the money I have spent on the suspension alone it scares me.

I know me too, i must have put over $1000 in the last 2 months, but did most of the work myself with some help from the techs at my work, but then I think about it adn if I had all this done at the DLR it would be close to $5000!! I promised my girl (fiance) that if I did the suspention I am gonna keep the car for anouther 2 years! I all-ready had her for over 9 years (I bought her brand new in in april 2000 (exactly 9 years LOL) so what anouther 2 years gonna hurt!

Hi, I'm new here. Glad to find this thread. Bought 03 cl-p last year for the wife. Completely stock. Looking for suspension upgrades. The cl floats at high speeds . Thought about Eibach pro plus system. I don't want to slam it just fix it. I live in southern Ohio. Terrible roads. Glad to read about the MOOG links and the Progressive RSB. Any thoughts is appreciated. My budget for the susp. is about $1200. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but reverse that. Inner holes are the stiffer setting.

So far I got B@G shocks/springs (drops it about 1.5 inches) and I live in NJ and drive to NYC weekly so i know about bad roads and this suspention feels better the the stock CL-s setup, not harsh at all 2Fast4you also got it might wanna ask him also cost $440 + shipping Excelates website, 4 moog sway bar links that wher $75 shipped from rockauto.com and progress RSB which was $162 shipped from heeltoe auto , so far i installed the springs/shocks and front sway bar links and it feels great so far. The progress RSB is comming in tommorrow according to my tracking # so will install that with my rear sway bar links next week, I CANT WAIT!

So which hole do I use for the better handling!

Thanks for the info. I don't want much of a drop 1.5" sounds good. Definitely want to know how the new RSB does for you. I have to wait till summers end to buy anything. Thanks again.

Would I need a camber kit for that kind of drop? I'll probably buy everything at the same time and have it all installed at once. Will the stock 16" wheels be ok?

Glad to hear. I can't get rims for a long while. Just convinced the wife to tint the windows 35%. Get that done in couple of weeks.

I like the drop not harsh at all kinda wish it was dropped in the front more though I have a manual transmission so the less weight I guess affects the drop in the front

I would say it has to do with your struts or something else on your suspension
