I would call Progressive and explain all to them; not dialed in, the "Incident", safety concerns, the works. They MIGHT do you right $$$.

Those are 500 dollar shocks with a lifetime warranty. Yeah, I would call Progressive before I did anything else.

I just called progressive. They said to send back the 440's. They will make me a set of 444's and send them back to me because they don't make 440's anymore.

Basically for shipping I'll get a set of 444's.

I'll sell the 444's to offset the cost of the Ollins.
