Install Tech from Heeltoe: Progress RSB

We did a little install earlier today (second progress RSB ever sold, and the first installed on a customer's car!)

There is a link on our site now easily found in the 09+ TSX parts picker section under Suspension, and also in the item link itself.

Here is the direct URL!
http://www.heeltoeauto.com/pages.php?pageid=9

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Brett and working on this car. It was truly interesting working on a "new car" that is so noticeably different than the 1g TSX.

Here are a few teaser pics!

Wow Marcus, quick turnaround time on the install pics! Thanks for a quick, smooth and entertaining(i.e., the before and after drives around the back roads) install! Its always nice to see someone who is clearly knowledgable in action. I would strongly recommend HeelToe to anyone for parts and/or install help. I will definitely be back for more. Can't wait to see what my new RSB can do!

Which hole did you end up using for this install? The softer or firmer?

Id say its definitely been worth it! The best way I can figure out how to describe it is that the suspension feels more responsive to turn inputs and feels like an active participant now versus just trailing around corners. Its definitely noticable and I am finding the feel enhanced at certain points/corners in my driving around town compared to stock. I'd say the money is well spent considering its low cost.

As for springs, they are not available just yet (1-2 weeks out) and I am trying to decide if that is the best route or if I should just wait out the coilover system (whenever that is due)...the springs alone are definitely tempting so I'll have to make that decision sooner than later.

I swear the RSB was priced at $165 early when it came out and when I had last checked. Did the price increase for this product?

FREE SHIPPING INSIDE THE USA! We bumped the price and added free shipping. It's about the same deal as before for most people.
