I've got both front and rear progress sway bars. They really helped with improving cornering and less body roll. I would recommend them. Progress makes really good stuff, and they stand behind what they make.

Sweeeet. Did you notice any thing that would be a future problem. Any fitment with exhuast. I am 98% sure i am going to get em today. Also where did you order from? Ebay is the only place I can find them and i would at least like to try to get the best deal.

I have the rear progress bar and I do notice it hitting the exhaust sometimes, but it seems like it would be easy enough to fix if it ever bothered me. The handling benefit is worth it though. HUGE difference.

i bought the front one first, about 2 or 3 months ago, put it in first thing. made a huge difference, except when i got new (read: better) tires, and i could push it a bit more than stock tires, the understeer was noticeable. but my car was a vp stock, it had no sway bars, and handled like diarrhea. anyways, after the progress front, i got a neuspeed front upper/ground controls/konis/azenis, and it made a world of difference, except i still had some body roll in the back. i installed the progress rear last night, drove around, my car handles like a go kart now. i love it.

I just installed my Progress rear sway and tie bar. The cornering difference is insane! The product itself is built well, and it is definitely worth it to buy the Progress sway/tie combo over the rsx rear sway bar.
