Bolt on...or welding required?..$159 is pretty steep for 2 metal brackets, Do you guys actually plan on selling these?.. A Muffler shop can make them for $50..but it's not gonna look too clean.
I'm a moderator on a 2k1civic forum and I don't beleieve anyone would be willing to pay that...Not knocking you guys...but you better have some kinda big marketing ploy to get folks to pay that much.

You'd have to buy the whole rear linkage from Honda and it's like $89/ side for the honda part

Linky to part

Hehe, good reply. I wonder if they'll write back?
That's what I'm saying though. That's simply way way way too much for that mounting kit. I mean, what does it come with?

*sigh*
I sent them a long email back on 10/20 with a lot of these questions, and they haven't responded yet. I'm growing impatient and tempted to get the oem honda parts for a reliable fit.

C'mon Progress, get your head outta your *** and give us some info!!

Here's the questions I asked if anyone is interested:
1. Will this kit work with a stock Honda Civic sway
bar, possibly the 22mm Acura RSX bar (a very popular
modification) or does it only work with your Progress
brand bar?

1.a. If it only works with your bar, what would be the
total cost for the kit and bar, and does these two
items include everything needed to mount it to a
standard Civic DX/LX? Is there a possibly package deal
for getting both?

1.b. Would this be the exact same bar you sell for the
EX, which also has the integrated Tie Bar?

2. Does the kit involve welding, or does it require
drilling to mount? What hand tools or power tools are
required?

3. Does it require you to take off the lower arm to
install the kit? A brief summary of what is involved
would be great.

You're only going to be paying $160 if you order it directly from them. If you order it through one of their distributors you'll be paying about $80. (that's what I was quoted). Notice if you look at prices on their web sites for the rear sway bar on a 2k1 civic you'll see it says $250 or something like that. If you purchase the SAME bar from one of their distributors it'll cost you $150. They do this to discourage direct ordering so their distros get more business.
