i cant see the photos because im on a military computer... did you torque them down correctly? or where you driving like a mad man??

Ok so your saying that you put these parts on and then can't push the car any harder than a grampa. That seems really dumb to me I want to use my car to its full potential.


Why would you ever buy anything that you can't trust. And versions really, they have 3 versions wow. That proves the point again.

austin - you have to realize there are people out there who do not care about the company or how the represent themselves. they arent buying BWR parts because for their performance gains, they really only buy them for their bling (if you will). I'd say over half the people on this site (and any other honda related forum) will never use "race" parts for the intended purpose. Hell, 70% of people on this sites cars will never enter into any sanctioned event (auto-x, time attacks, drag racing, etc).

and theres nothing wrong with that. nothing at all.

an $800 price tag does not mean the part is worth $800. im willing to bet a set of progress coilovers will out perform a set of BWR coilovers any day of the week/month/year. Progress coilovers are under $600 to boot and are well-known.


stank - this thread was about how BWR falsely advertised their product as being 100% tested, 100% QA'd in the USA and all that. When they're not. It took BWR forever to post a 6 second clip of a shock on a dyno with no actual results ever being posted. And on top of all that... The representative of BWR had some stupid attitude.

If you ran a company and someone asked three very simple questions, would you get stupid with them or would you handle it in a professional manner?

ive never heard of progress coilovers, how well do they perform?
r they better then function n form type 1's for the price?

Ya cheap bushings happened dude.

Stop trying to back them up with every excuse in the book.

I know how to install LCA's I even put grease all over the bolts and face of the bushings.

Face it BWR SUCK DICK

Couldnt tell ya I have no experience w/either of them. Seems all the fan bois love Function Forms and for what its worth, people who might actually "track" their cars liked the Progress CSII's w/350/350 springs. I created a thread on honda-tech about suspension ideas when I was shopping around granted there were only 14 replies to the thread but the ones who replied seemed to have high regard to Progress CSII's. Just food for thought. Here's the thread.

Anyway, heres another decent thread for some reading on suspension selection.

As far as BWR, I dont consider them any better than Blox or APC for that matter. Sure they make ok stuff for those who dont really care for performance, but in the end you'll more than likely end up replacing it because it fails at some point.

- Thu Sep 22, 2011 2:48 pm #273681 Thank you, see my point is to aware others of companies that all they care about is money and not your safety. And no I have no reason to be mad BRO! I find it funny, and if you never have an issue that's great, but I find more bad reviews over good everyday.


Progress is a Great company and have been around for ever. I had a close friend with a b16 ef hatch that had progress coil overs on it for well over 10 years never had to rebuild them and it still rode the same way after 10 yrs as the day we put them on.


Oh and to answer the other question just cause they place an ad in Honda Tuning does not mean that they are worth buying. The ad right next to them in the latest addition I would never ever look at period K2 Motoring looks like real quality crap


We all have a common like and that is to work on cars Honda's in general, I have been in the scene for over 10 yrs now and have watch companies come and go with crap products, and most people that don't have the budget to spend over 1000 bucks on stuff these companies come out with stuff and you end up running it for a while and then it will just shit out and you will be spending more money that you should have to sooner than you should.


How many of you know or remember brands like NEX, Hayame, Sage, etc. these companies out of Japan and Asia each made decent full bodies and other parts that I ran on my old coupe for years and were awesome but know one knew who the hell they were.

- Thu Sep 22, 2011 2:57 pm #273685 But what's that say about brands like rota? They sell knock off designs for high prices and they fail @ track use. (and no I'm not knocking/hating/bragging/whatevering)


To each their own. Buy what parts suite you best and leave it at that.

- Thu Sep 22, 2011 3:18 pm #273691 how do they fail at track usage?

(spare me the "broke rota" picture too)

have you had a rota wheel break on you? i know i havent. i had c10's on my integra and drove cross country as well as some spirited driving, a lil auto-x and the like, never an issue. I had drag dr23's on my civic, same scenario, with no problems. currently, i have drag dr1's w/hoosiers mounted and i have yet to see any issues out of them.

- Thu Sep 22, 2011 5:02 pm #273715 it all comes down to individual interest... if you think its bad, then ok its bads for you... but dont try to inluence other people on what they should or shouldnt buy... so your on my boat because i heard great things about the LCA's and subframe braces.. and then i tried them.. so this is basically going in circles.

BWR is legit... got LCA's, Subframe Brace, and Radiator... no problems at all... Hondatech is full of dimwitted and just plain stupid people...

Sorry but there LCA's are trash.

I had them on my car for 3 months and 3 bushings were already torn.

you must have tried their old ones man. the ones that are on clearance on the site worth $90. new ones have bushings that some compare to function 7...

False. BWR will never have anything anywhere near the quality of Function7.
