Progress Technology Seeking 2012 Si For Sway Bar Development

[SCFast]

Spoke with Progress today and turns out they are seeking a 2012 Si for sway bar development.
Must be in orange county and they will need the car for 5 days (possibly up to 10 days).

Email them at Info@progressauto.com or call 1-800-905-6687 if you are available. If i was down south i would already be there!

The progress rsb on my 10 si was the best bang for the buck upgrade so far. Someone needs to do this

Yes rear sways are the best bang for the buck suspension component when developed right (On subies i am a whiteline guy though lol) Plus they are now legal in stock class for autox Yayyy.

That is pretty awesome. Im sure when only front sway bar were allowed the rwd cars had the advantage. Now awd and fwd cars can take advantage of a rear sway bar

did they ever find someone to do this?

^ I'm not sure, but there are a number of users running the 8th gen progress sways without issue. I'm not sure if they've just not tested it, or what's going on. I see they don't have the 2012 listed on their site.

Patiently waiting...

btw the 06-11 progress rear swaybar fits perfectly.... no need to wait unless you want a bigger front swaybar too... which will make the car slower in turns.

So the 06-11 Progress rear sway bar fits perfectly no problem??

 

[webby]

yes

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

yes

Sweet, that'll be my next investment then!

hmm...I wonder how big their bar would be. The 19mm bars offered up by other vendors seems to be small.

 

[webby]

The rear sway is 22mm from progress

 

[RedShiftChris]

Eibach rear swaybar for the 06-11 Civic is 19mm too; so the 22mm Progress is bigger on the 06-11 Civic too. The geometry on the bar pick-up points between the 2012 and 2006 Civic are basically the same; so the 22mm Progress bar will work the same on the 2012 Civic.... and I don't think it's too big at all. ASR has bigger bars available for race applications, but obviously you won't want that on a street car. The Progress one is best.... stock level on the bar is good too; so they are easy to get.

So the 8th gen sway bars fit, but will it function well on the 9th?

 

[webby]

a number of parts from the 8th fit on the 9th. The cars are that close to one another.

 

[JonnyRotten]

So why is Progress looking for a 2012 Si for swaybar development if the 8th fits? Is it a case of it fits but is not quite the same?

 

[spdandpwr]

^maybe they want to confirm fitment
