progress springs + tokico dspec - opinions?
anyone run this setup? i currently have the eibachs on my 03 rex with stock struts, but after putting on the 18's, i think ill need more dampening, so im looking into the tokico dspecs. im also looking for a spring to get rid of that large fender gap up front, the eibach pros dont do it for me. I remember seeing the progress get rid of that gap pretty well, but havn't heard much about them recently. the most recent springs to come out all seem to be pretty gentle when it comes to the drop. any suggestions?

sigma - how does your set up feel for daily driving? ie. potholes, speed bumbs? what size wheels do you run?
i found a new set of dspecs on craigslist for a great price, so im leaning towards them. i hear they are at least as good as the kyb's. im also looking at the perrin springs, which lower the car the same amount as the progress do, but seem to be a "more" reputable brand, whatever that means.

i drive an 03 wrx currently on eibach pros. i think the drop is 1.3" in the front and 1.0" in the back. I'm hoping to get something to close the wheel gap up front even more. Im not sure what you would call slammed, but def trying to get rid of that gap. I think the progress drop 1.8" up front and the perrins are 1.9" up front. This is a daily driver w/ mostly highway miles. I'll be honest, I'm looking for the aesthetic improvement just as much as the improvement in drivability.

but its bearable on pot holes but gets bumpy on certian roads at certian speeds
speed bumps i have to slow down
im running 235 40 17
on the track it rolls a bit too much
it really is a compromise
