View Full Version : Progress Technology Springs & Anti-Roll Bars!
Race Roots 01-13-2009, 12:09 AM We here at Fluid Motorsports are very proud to announce that we are now a Stocking Dealer of Progress Technology!
With our usual sale Specials we are running a COMBO SPECIAL on Progress Technology Sways and Springs!
Progress anti-roll bars dramatically improve handling. How? They minimize the traction-robbing body "lean" that rolls part of the outside tires off the pavement. Progress Technology sport-tuned Anti-roll bars replace skinny OEM bars and rubber bushings with larger diameter (stiffer) alloy steel bars and polyurethane bushings. More roll stiffness means less body "lean", and the tires stay flatter on the pavement (larger contact patches). The result is more grip and added driver control!
-Less body roll means more traction, faster cornering speeds, and increased driver confidence.
-Polyurethane bushings produce crisp response on turn-in.
Progress Anti-roll bars are cold-formed in-house using our custom-built precision bending equipment. Both laser-cut and CNC bar ends are MIG welded in place using a precise fixture for an exact fit.

Progress Technology newly designed Street Springs! (http://raceroots.com/index.php/products/mazda/rx8/suspension/progress-technology-sport-spring.html)
Progress technology's engineering staff has decades of experience in the design and tuning of performance suspension systems, including CART/Indy Cars, IMSA, SCCA, NASA, and SCORE competitors. These spring designs reflect their ability to develop a successful blend of appearance, handling capability, and ride quality. These springs feature increased spring rates for upgraded handling capabilities as well as progressively wound springs for superior ride quality.
These springs are designed to work with OEM shocks but will benefit from using high performance shocks such as Tokico, Bilstein, or Koni.
Progress specifies only certified high-tensile SAE spring wire materials. Our springs are cold-wound on modern CNC coiling machines, then stress relieved, pre-set, and shot-peened for maximum durability.

Specs of the Street Spring:
Front: 205 Lbs./In
Rear: 145 Lbs./In
Front Drop: -1.2 inches
Rear Drop: -0.8 inches

05rex8 01-14-2009, 08:19 PM is it recommended to upgrade the endlinks when getting these?
Can you pm with pricing/shipping to 84107, and do they come with the mounting bushing or are they separate?
Race Roots 01-15-2009, 11:30 AM is it recommended to upgrade the end links when getting these?
I would highly recommend them, Using the stock Sway end-links they are prone to breaking.
I have the AP endlinks on my car and comparing those to other adjustables, The AP hands down has the best quality construction and durability.
The End links for the rear alone are the strongest I have seen.
I would recommend them if you are upgrading the sways.

The bar is larger so you definitely need new bushings. I'm running the stock endlinks till they break and then I'll upgrade them.
Race Roots 03-23-2009, 05:01 PM The bar is larger so you definitely need new bushings. I'm running the stock endlinks till they break and then I'll upgrade them.
Both Front and Rear sway bars we sell comes with the required brackets and bushings.
TheWulf 03-23-2009, 05:04 PM ^^ doesn't the rear one come with them too? I'm pretty sure I got bushing for both.

Race Roots 10-03-2009, 11:55 AM Would like to hear some reviews about the sport springs with Koni Yellows vs Stance GR+ for STX??
So far as for reviews for the street springs really haven't heard much.
Although if you are going to be in STX and thinking of doing Koni Yellows I would pair them up with the Progress Technology AutoX Springs. There is a review in the following thread.
Exclusive Progress AutoX Springs Group Buy!! (httphttp://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=183663)
Race Roots 02-16-2010, 07:31 PM We have more springs instock and we will have some bars by the end of the month!
