its not as huge of a benefit as people think... but it helps. by no means does this make your car in to a racecar or totally eliminate body roll.. It decreases body roll in the rear and shifts the lateral load transfer distribution rearward..

Overall.. it was a good purchase and i like mine.


i always laugh when people say they can feel strut tower braces...

progress sway bar is a nice piece

I don't know how the hell you can install that though without any jacks unless your driveway is slanted or you're on stock suspension

I installed it in my flat driveway, lowered with progress lowering springs, the bar was much more of a pain in the ass to install without a jack.

Install time ~ 10 mins

just need a wrench or socket

4 bolts all same size / 2 per side

no drilling

i did mine without jacking or putting it on ramps.

No ramps here either, and I can tell a difference in how it handles turns. Nothing huge, but a nice improvement without doubt. I bet it will be much more noticeable when I take the car to auto cross or something (i havent really pushed it at all yet, just installed saturday)

I am 6'1 and 265 Lbs.

I am not a small guy, and I was able to squeeze under there and get it done.
Just, if you ARE a bigger guy, make sure the exhaust is cool.
I had to work around that, and its really just one less thing you want to have to worry about.

Oh... my car is on stock suspension.

Oh... yeah... But I couldnt wait!
All of the hype I heard, I positively HAD to get it on the car right away!

Its a good piece, but not life changing.

I am glad I bought it though, and dont care that I had to pay the non GP price.
The differance in cornering is pretty night and day.

Now we just need something to shorten up our turning radius and we will be good to go!

Turning like a F'ing truck FTL!

I love this bar. It has to be my favorite mod that I have done so far just because it makes so much of a difference. I can't imagine how i drove the car without it.
