Brian,
I know it's early, but any idea on pricing?

Had a bunch of emails from MX5 owners who already own and LOVE our Progress Springs but impatient to match them with these Progress sways. Thanks for waiting... we are very happy to catch this little issue you see here BEFORE production. As you can see, just a slight interference between the beefy Progress front bracket and the factory ABS clips. We saw this same issue with the first batch of Hotchkis sways....after they had already shipped to dealers and their solution was instructions to customers to grind the bracket (which was not well received with some customers). We will have Progress make the minor adjustment needed here to avoid any fitment issue in the production item.

No, I was not under there to carefully catalog which pieces they foamed, just found it interesting that several are foamed on NC2 versus NC1. Anyway, doesn't really matter which pieces they foamed, if I was to foam an NC1 then I would do every section that I can get access to.Reitrof wrote:Brian,Brian wrote: One of the interesting things about NC2 for you owners of NC1 is how the factory simply foam filled a number of the suspension/chassis bits to lower NVH.

Could you tell us which pieces have been foamed?

So far really have not settled on any particular choice for the exhaust. Changing them around and having some fun trying all the choices we offer on an otherwise stock car again. Very likely we will test our new header with converter on this car.Michele wrote:Brian,
Thanks for posting the Progress anti-sway bar review. Well done. I'm considering those in the future.
I also look forward to your reviews for the exhaust systems that you were planning to test in December on the 2012 PRHT. I have not seen any more comments about exhaust systems.
