the progress kit sounds just like the ingalls kit. any major design differences?

 

i have no idea what the ingalls kit is like......

 

the ingalls kit slides for different degrees of correctness. i believe the piece which bolts the upper arm to the frame of the car. either that or the ball joint i'm not positive. (i've only seen pix of the ingalls kit)

on the progress you have 2 settings you can choose. one is for a mild drop and the other is for a more excessive drop. they tell you which one to choose depending on drop, and alignment and stuff.

with the ingalls kit you slide it to the degree of correctness you want, and torque down a bolt (i believe) to set it in place. i've heard of the ingalls kit slipping alot. my friends kit slipped. he hated it, plus his wheels sat out further.

i had the progress kit, but i never installed it, i was gonna buy the skunk2 kit which replaces the whole arm. on the skunk2 kit it has an adjustable ball joint which slides to the degrees of adjustment you want, and you tighten down 4 bolts. which are suppose to keep it in place. lots of people swear by the skunk2 stuff, but i'm weary of it. just cause it slides.

 

so on the skunk2 do you use the stock bushings?? maybe i will just keep my progress kit on it...

 

the progress kit looks exactly like the ingalls kit. im refering to the integras kit, btw.h:




and the ingalls:


ingalls offer BRASS bushings.

 

ahhh after look inspection:

looks like the ingalls with allow for more a finer adjustment.
but i can see how the ingall is more prone to slipping.

im still going to upgrade from ingalls in skunk2 when it comes time. i dont like how it sqeaks and the top of the arm hits my car on hard turns.

 

that's the only skunk2 picture i could nab. i'm not sure what gen the kit is for, but it says for 94+ teg and 92-95 and a they have a kit for 96+.

you see the sliding ball joint?

 

are u running both front and rear...or just fronts?


im thinking of going both...even tho the rear can be done easily and cheaper....i want to do it the right way the first time around unless somebody convinces me otherwise.

 

im not sure if its the same for the civic...but for the rear you really just need a longer bolt and some washers. thats what i did. if you are familiar with the rear suspension, you can kinda see why thats all it needs.

i have washers in the rear, it took the alignment guy a few tries before getting the right amount in. i havent heard any negative things about shimming the rear for tegs.

 

It is the same.

Im just wondering if the rear kits make it easier to adjust.
