Installed my Progress front sway bar

Just installed my new front sway bar yesterday and I can say it was worth every penny. It eliminated a lot of the body roll I've suffered from and combined with my new tires I'm almost ready for Nurburgring next month. Just have to put in the coilovers and hope I don't get any tire rub(fingers crossed).

On that note does anyone have Progress Coilovers and tips/tricks on installing them?

I forget, what size is the Progress front? Have you upgraded the rear yet? I love my RSX-S bar in the rear (well that just doesn't sound good at all!) How about, I love my rear RSX-S bar. Yeah, much better!

As far as installing the Progress coilovers, just follow the same procedure as you would springs. Only difference is that instead of taking the strut/spring assembly, you just put the Progress coilovers in and you are good to go!

The front is a whopping 27mm and it was a real pain to get it on around my downpipe. Haven't put the rear bar on yet because the front took 2 & 1/2 hours and I was exhausted by the time I got it done.

Got a quick follow up question. The bushing on the right side has been making a squeaky rubbery noise when I go over bumps now. I think I may not have the bar precisely centered and/or enough grease on the bushing. Any ideas?
