[Charisma]

Saaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeetttttttt!

[ChadB]

haha well done You must have a damn good track setup...in addition to driving skills

I see a few Type S and WRX in there

[coldrsx]

Progress coilovers
progress f/r sways
bridestone RE070 225/45/17
and an agressive alignment

[ChadB]

that ill do it...and stock other than Injen intake? CAI I assume

[coldrsx]

yup....just an injen SRI....well and a sparco seat to keep me planted.

[lotexigeus]

5speed i would guess?

[coldrsx]

^bingo

[NirvanaandTool]

very nice job there coldrsx
and very nice track set up

[640k]

Nice to see a couple Corrados in there. I love those cars. But what's up with the Dodge Colt?

[cheesefarmer]

good job Ian

[coldrsx]

"But what's up with the Dodge Colt?"


he kicked ass....good driver

[boostme]

What made you buy Progress over Whiteline?

[coldrsx]

I looked at Whiteline, Tein, KW, Buddyclub, Mugen SS, and Progress......

my criteria was the following:

-height adjustable
-fixed damper setting
-proven past performance

Once i saw what they did with their RSX S i felt that they had demonstrated to me that they had a good rsx product. I had experience in the past with thier civic ones and liked them very much.

But i also had the front and rear sway bars from Progress for about 8months and found their quality, look, and performance to be very much above my expectations....i felt that if this was the precident, the coilovers would be great, and they are!

Prior to my sway bars and coilovers i would always have huge understeer and typically rank midpack at auto-x. Now i have close to neutral feel with only minor understeer and am in the top 5 or 10 at auto-xs.

The last factor is that my mechanic is a progress distributor and sets up all of my car for track days etc. and is a big help with pricing. But regardless of that, i think i would have gone with them.

First off, congratulations, and good reppin'! I was thinking about trying the same setup, except Tein SS instead of Progress coilovers, maybe you can sway me. How much better is your car without the aggressive alignment setup. Mine is a daily driver, so I won't be doing this. And how does the Progress coilovers compare to the Tein SS or Flex in performance and price. Thanks in advance.
