Does anybody have this rear sway bar? I was thinking of getting it because it's only 98 bucks from dezod. Any opinions on it? Thanks.

I have one. Its an 11 lb stick of metal that does what its supposed to. What more is there to say?
Just make sure you got a tie bar and some heafty springs.

i was just wondering why it is so much less expensive than the progress bar...is it because the progress bar comes w/ a lower tie bar (the metal piece w/ "progress" on it)?

yes, it is because progress comes with a tie bar.

Yes, its just the bar. If you want the comptech one with the cradle, its $400.
The difference is that the Comptech bar fits right, the progress one doesn't really. The arms on the progress bar are too long and if you look at the endlinks when the bar is installed, they're pushed way off of vertical.... which is why all the endlinks are breaking.

is the comptech bar w/o the cradle still adjustible???

so, w/ the comptech bar we do not need new endlinks?

If you're going to a sway bar bigger than 19mm, it's advisable to get new aftermarket endlinks anyway IMO. The stockers are pencil-thin, literally, and the ball joint on them is, in my opinion, unreliable - I was able to pop one out with one hand and a pair of pliers. Just imagine a 22mm BAR subjected to a whole car's cornering force, yanking at it.

There are 2 comptech bars. The $99 bar is the same one that comes with the Swaybar/Cradle combo for $400. The Comptech Race swaybar is $650 and thats adjustable.

If your rear springs are stiff enough... no, you shouldn't need new endlinks. If they're not and the car is still going to roll to the point where the sway bar is going to flex in the endlinks a lot, then yeah, you'll probably still break them.

i was looking on the comptech website and was trying to find some part #'s, is 140-115CLR the right part #?

also, would it be feasible to buy the sway bar and then the tie bar separately and then buy the correct bushings? $400 seems pretty steep in relation to the $99 for just the sway bar.
