Anyone using these BEarings from Progress?

 

No but they look pretty bad ***... how much do they go for?

 

I've got them on my 91 hatch. What do you want to know?

I got them on my 92 Integra (getting ready for WCHC) but the car isn't finsihed.

 

I have a set on my WCHC Crx which isnt track ready yet... Hope they work otherwise I pissed away some money

 

well, just wanted to see any comments on before and after putting them on. We are installing them on our CRX and also planning to stock some for the road racers and serious drag racers out there.

 

Hey, Wil
Glad to hear you took my advise
let me know how they work out, i might pick up the complete set as well

Ya you know Im down to spend whatever is needed to get this suspension to be #1.
IF anyone else is interested let me know. We'll get some good pricing if more are interested.

BTW: here is the car that it is going in Stan

It's hard to give you before and after evaluation on the bearings alone because we did the entire suspension upgrade all at once. What I can tell you is that most of the west coast ITA and HC4 guys run them. On my car with the bearings, coilovers, springs and rear bar the think handles like a go kart. I've only been running this set up for the last four track events, so I'm still getting used to it. Seems very predictable with good manners.

John, sorry to digress, are you still with progress?

I am freinds with those guys and have driven their Bonneville car for the last few years, but I have never worked for Progress.

Pardon, i was mistaken
i did know about the progress civic.
stan

 

I am definately interested. What bushings are they available to replace? For an EG.

Also when is the SRR ball bearing stuff going to be out?

well the ones I posted above are for the Front, there are REar bearing for the rear LCA as well.

The SRR ones are still on backorder. WE have been waiting for them for months.
But the Progress are great pcs themselves and proven to work well.

Wil

 

How much for both front and rear? I think my lca bushings are shot - I have tons of bump steer and weird steering feel under medium to heavy braking. I was about to order the mugen hard rubber ones, but i think these will work better. Also how hard is the install? Thanks.

I used to stock them in my shop, but they are no longer available from Progress, at least that is what I was told by Michele at Progress.
I ran them on my championship winning crx last season and they are worth the money.

A woman that answered the (Progress) phone yesterday didn't tell me that.

I wonder...

Its possible we are talking about a different application, but I got the ones for my 91 Civic straight from Progress a couple of months ago. They had bearings for all the lower suspension arms and the front control rods. Maybe they were just out of stock when you called.

Thawley

 

John,
do the control rods bushings allow for caster adjustment?
stan

 

There are steel sleeves (spacers) that slide over the back side of the control arms. The length of the sleeves (even on the stock setup) determines the amount of castor by changing the length of the arm BEHIND the crossmember. By cutting the sleeves shorter you can pull more castor into the front end. If memory serve me, cutting about 1/2" off the back side of the crossmember gives you 3.5-4° of castor.

we are doing the special order on the bearing kits for the front and rear.

Give us a heads up on who's interested so we can let you know the pricing based on interest.
thanks
Wil
