The ride is too harsh for his liking. Plus they are green or green -ish. Everyone has different tastes though, so different strokes for diffrent folks right!

I have heard both good and bad things about Progressive Springs. Some people say they are bouncy and harsh, some say they sag after a few months, other people love 'em and have no problems. It depends on what you expect out of a lowering spring. People have to understand that you are lowreing your suspention by compressing the spring rate and you will have a stiffer (maybe bouncy) ride. The only way to combat that is with new struts and shocks. Companies all say that their springs a progressivly coiled to "improve ride quality and handling", but that is in comparison to a shorter non-progressive coil or cut springs.Your ride will be stiffer, not HARSH, but stiffer. You will feel more bumps in the road that stock. Ranting ranting ranting.......
