Progress Technology AutoX Progressive Springs

http://raceroots.com/index.php/produ...e-springs.html


Just wondering if these would work well with my 2009 R3 I am also looking to purchase progressive front and rear sway bars. Any input?

I don't think they ever made these? If I remember correctly everyone wanted them until it came time to pay for them. Infact progressive tech went out of thier way to get the spring rates just right on these, but with no demand they never ment into production. Fitment would prob be okay. Brice will chime in soon.

We are currently awaiting people to jump on the GB, so these will be made if enough people want to buy them.

The GB is located in this section.

Get in on the group buy. Get 6 sets, just in case you lose a few!

If they are only progressive in the rear, it's not all that bad. My KWs use progressive rears, and the result is quite good. Linear rears may provide a performance benefit - most hard-core auto-xers tend to go linear - but we are talking about people who are at the absolute top of their game.

There is a long thread in the Racing forum on these - it's worth checking out for anybody who is curious.
