no it does not say the spring heights on the box

i did notice however that it makes no mention of 04+ Lancers on the box? other progress owners, is this right? i notice it has model years for the Mirage and older lancer listed but thats it.

but your probably so close to the fender in the rear because of the rims (18s?)

the box says 97-00(?) Mirange and 02-03 Lancer ES...is this right?? I thought 04+ Lancers had different springs than 02-03. Is that not right?

The wheels are 17" Rota Slipstream on 205/45/17 tires with a 42mm(?) offset...and yes they rub on full turns, which is insanely annoying. I can't believe the lack of room in the wheel well on this car. On my Ion I'm dropped 1.75" all around and running 225/45/17's and still have some room for a wider tire. I tried some 3mm wheel spacers and didn't solve the problem so I guess the only solution other than hacking up the wheel well is to buy a skinny *** 205/40/17 tire which I really don't wanna do.

old thread but I will post anyways, I have an 04 and it sits the same way with the progress springs, its to low in the back. And now that the shocks seems done. We will be getting some coil overs so I can adjust it to be just over the wheel like I want them to be. I think what they were going for with the progress spring is leveling the bottom of the car out. Even though it looks low in the back the bottom of the car is actually level. If you know what I mean
