Progress CoilOvers

[talonXracer]

Here are the Progress coilovers.
They are actually specd for the RSX as I will install new typeS tierod ends and then add a steering rack extension next weekend.

Doug, what aren't you doing/working on right now? Seems to me that an already kick ass car will be getting a complete overhaul the next few months.

Those look really weird for some reason...the rears have longer springs??

I had placed the springs down and didnt notice the placement didnt look right. The heavier shorter spring is for the rear. sorry.

[the JigGa mAn]

correct me if im wrong, but you cannot adjust the dampening on those correct?

[talonXracer]

That is correct

[civictype_r04]

they look pretty but N+'s for the win:mbiggrin:

[metalviper]

why is there no bushing in the rear strut?
you gonna put any rust prevention stuff on them?
nice pick up though!

What is this steering rack extension that you speak of, im getting a set of flexs that are also specd for a an RSX so I know i have to change the tie rod ends, but what in gods name is the steering rack extension and what does it do?

Could that be that little bracket that attach to the EPS unit to straighten out the toe rods?

it bumps the steering location out further so the flex in the tie rods won't be as intense. refer to clubrsx for details.

The rear strut uses a two piece poly bushing for the lower eye.

IF YOU want to be able to adjust the coilovers after install, make sure to use ALOT of antisieze on the threaded sleeves and threaded aluminum seats. I have seen several Progress coilovers that are almost impossible to adjust due to not useing antisieze.

And the steering bracket I am referring to is this.

Ahh gotcha.
nice bump steer bracket!

doug, these coilovers have been recommended to me on more than one occasion now by some knowledgeable people, and once was by you...i just have a couple of questions for you before i make my final decision...

1. what makes these better than the buddy club n+? (buddy club = adjustable dampening, progress is not)

2. where did you get them? because from what ive been told they are sold out or on back order

[metalviper]

progress coils are made to order. your lucky if they have enough materials to make them or if you get caught up in a group that is getting made.

Lets see how low this can go ...then id buy a set to :msmile:

[talonXracer]

They have a adjustment range of -1" to -3.5". I will set them at -1.5 at first.

Yes, these are not assembled in large batchs like most other manufacturers. I was lucky and called the day they were starting a build and added mine to that order. That is the probably the worse part of wanting to give them a try.
