Installed a full set of lowering springs from Storm. Progressive springs, red and made in Korea specifically matched to your Hyundai / Kia models My first day of field report for the Storm Progressive Lowering Spring , here goes. Compared to coil overs, these are not adjustable for dampening nor height. Installation is a breeze as it only requires removal of stock shocks/ spring and replacing the stock springs with the Storm. Practically no alignment is necessary since your camber ( for most passenger cars ) are no adjustable. Castor for almost all car models are also fixed, so no alignment is possible. Toe in shouldn't be affected since toe tie rods will not be loosen or touched during installation. On the road, the ride is surprisingly soft. Compared to coilovers, these progressives have a almost close to stock first few CM of compression which soaks up the roughness of the road. However during cornering, the progressives nature would feel harder and harder as your corner hits more corner speed. Hence it doesn't feel like you are going to roll over feeling like in a stock. The lowered look, which has always been my cup of tea for almost all my cars except one, gives a farily equal gap all around the tyres and fenders. Over humps, no issue since it only lowers 3.5 cm front and 3 cm rear. Compared to my coilovers which was lowered to the max, didn't had problem going over humps either. So verdict.. if you are looking at lowering, progressive is way to go. Linear springs are just too harsh, base on my experience.

What is there to know about progressive lens ? What to look out for when prescribing ? Any good shops to recommend in terms of workmanship and service ? What is the price range ? Thanks !
