Default A little help with spherical bushings

I have an 88 CRX track car that I run with NASA. I'm not overly concerned with rules as I will most likely run in TT slim possibility I'll run H1. Being a modified D I doubt it though.

Anyway I've searched around on this topic & this thread was the most informative so far.

https://honda-tech.com/zero...63580

but half the links do not work anymore.

Where can I obtain all of the progress bushings? I cannot find them on their web site.

I do not really know what exactly is availiable to replace.

If I run the progress set what else will i need? If you can provide simple links to quality parts at reputable shops. I will buy you beer at BW in a few weeks

Spherical T/A
Radius rod replacement
Rear end link
What else?

What can I use from energy if no spherical is avail.?

Last Q are these swanky LCA worth a crap? $280 seems steep considering the return on performance.

for the radius rod I think OPM sells something http://www.opmautosports.com/

RTA spherical, contact KIWI: https://honda-tech.com/zero...04392

rear end link: http://www.projectzum.com/inde...id=11

BTW, last I heard, the progress bushings were NLA. . .

function 7 control arms are the ONLY aftermarket company making control arms that i will vouch for. their engineering, design, research and testing are beyond my expectations. theres more engineering and development in their part than anyone else. i wont go into specifics. theyve already seen their ideas copied by the competition. which still doesnt even come close to competing as far as im concerned.

however, i dont see much in what a lighter rear control arm is going to give you. say whatever you want about unsprung mass, i dont want to hear about it. its not going to make a difference.

i would not base progress bushings being no longer available on hearsay. just give them a call. i think they might even have rear sphericals available, or at least a prototype or two is floating around...
