The guy I bought them from about 7 months ago claimed that had about 20 miles on them. He was an older guy in his 50's and claimed the ride was too low for him and his wife. I on the other hand wanted to put these on but didnt want to spend the additional money for the camber plates and such.
Added PIcs

caster camber plates and adj panhard bar..eventually some shocks due to the drop being so low after awhile cause great wear and tear on factory shocks

I just put the FFRP Progressives on my car and I want it lower! I wish these would have been forsale a little while back. I used the OEM shocks without camber plates and panhard and it lined up PERFECT per automotive alignment.

PM if interested in a trade.

Free Bump for the best riding, most aggressive lowering springs around

You don't need caster camber plates, a pair of camber bolts aligned mine with no problem. Depending on how wide your tires are out back you may need an adjustable panhard bar to straighten things up though.
Shocks/Struts can be added if you want to improve the ride but are not necessary immediately. The factory shocks/struts will suffice, but are not manufactured to accomodate a stance that low so they will wear out quicker than normal. I know people who have Eibach Sportlines with factory shocks/struts and have had no problems for years.

I am really happy with these springs and glad I didn't go with anything else .

when you say wear out faster, how long do you think I'll have till I'll need to replace the shocks?

I don't know, plenty of factors determine that, bad roads conditions, miles of use...etc. Like I said previously I know people who have had no problems riding on factory shocks/struts for years and are very happy. I guess it depends on what you funds allow you to change and when, but you will be ok right now with just springs.

My car is a DD so I decided to replaced everything at once.
