Jaxx Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 so after installing my 18s saturday and deciding that it looked pretty bad (too much wheel gap) i broke down and ordered the complete progress kit front/rear sways bars and springs all together it came to 464.99 shipped or about the cost of pinks ill get her installed this weekend and post some picts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Where did you get the Progress stuff from? How much would the sway bars have been without the springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 not 100% sure which was which the springs were 155 one sway was 174.99 the other 135 got them from rich @ precision tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 You'll have to let me know how the springs are...I'm look'n for a set..and at the price I can afford them now =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadalgt Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Does Rich have the stuff in stock yet. I had ordered them back in January but Progress gave Rich and me quite the runaround. Rich is an awesome guy to deal with. I highly recommend him to all forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 scans - my thoughts exactly plus sways too .. since i (idaho) am 2500 miles away from him (new jersey) it made sense to have them dropped shipped from progress (michigan), which had them in stock that said i should have them tommarow ill take pictures when i get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Awesome man....... I got the sways rock'n, (or not rock'n ...lol) you will love them.... Can't wait to hear about these springs......Keep us posted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scans007 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Sways look Identical to the adjustable perrin ones, maybe just not quite as thick (just a guess from eye'n it) and def not as red Springs are cool....wonder how far the car will drop and such on them..... Isn't it fun be'n a ginnea pig Jaxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 the sema page said 22mm adjustable .. which would be quite a bit smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Progress has a great reputation. That being said, I worry that the springs might be too much for the stock struts if they go below about .5 to .75 inch drop, which IIRC they do. JJust a thought.

Jaxx Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 i thought the same thing sema pages said 1.2.. rich said 1.8 soooo we will see for the price i figure that i can play with them then if/when prodrives come out ill get them guinne pig .. yeah and i have another one up my sleeve too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandShark Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Jaxx, Does progress make end links? Make sure they have enclosed bearings. I would suggest the AVO endlinks to you, if not. They are only $75 bucks a pair for front & back and are fully adjustable with enclosed bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 not a huge believer in aftermarket end links on a road car.. ill run the stock ones till they break . if they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 not a huge believer in aftermarket end links on a road car.. ill run the stock ones till they break . if they do I bent my OEM endlinks like pretzels after I put tanabe sways on my Rx-8. Our OEM endlinks are the same pencil thin pieces of kaka. Is that 22mm adjustable up to 24mm?? OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Unless their price went up, the AVO enlinks f/r have been $55.00 each end and that's what I paid for them in December 04. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
