Look folks, I'm not saying Hagon makes a bad product - just in this case it didn't work for me, particuarly using Bella Corse.
I sent the Hagons back to Bella Corse twice for new springs. Even with their heaviest springs, I still had the problem. We're not fly-weights but I'm only 190 and the wife about 130 lbs.
Maybe Bella Corse was the issue, he said that he conferred with the Hagon distributor, Dave Quinn on the attempted fixes which included two different springs. He finally said there was nothing more to be done. My shocks were the stock ride height. Bella Corse felt something was wrong with my setup, but installing the stock shocks created no problems nor have I had any issues with my Progressive 440's. I also have two dings on each of my relatively new at the time Specialty Spares pipes and one hit was so hard I nearly crashed. The shocks came off at that point and the stockers went back on.
The hassle was removing and sending back the shocks. I tried to suggest to Bella Corse that perhaps this set had a defect and wanted to try another pair, but he declined that option, offering me store credit or a refund less a hefty 'restocking' charge, plus I lost some shipping costs.
The build/fit/finish of the Progressive 440's was far and away much better than the standard Hagons. I was fortuante to get a pair of the 440's from a former owner for a decent price, but they are black in finish. The lesson I learned was you do get what you pay for.
