not sure if these are new, or just plain not worth the money.

I'm planning on buying a set of these PROGRESS springs (give a 1.3/1.5 drop. I've searched around and it seems that no one has these, WHY NOT ?

I have them in my car and they are great. I even have them on my stock struts and the ride quality is great. I know the R&D guy there, and they had my car there for 3 days to get the perfect specs using the stock suspension spring rate and everything. They have very good quality springs, backed with lifetime warranty. I have had them for about a year and they have very high quality finish as well as the ride quality. I even have their Rear Sway Bar installed and thats a wonderful addition to the springs.

Go to the top of this page and click OFF TOPIC then look for The Black MArket section forums and see Sponsored Sales

Those guys are the approved vendors of this site and will sell you the right parts for your car.
Just dropping low springs in will probably put serious wear on the stock shocks causing early failure or damage from speed bumps.

Check out MrHeelToe and Excellerate
Both have good parts for your Acura

shock wear

Ask WickedFX what happens when you put in the drop springs and stay on stock shocks.

It does also depend on who else drives your car and the condition of the roads in your area.
