Progress suspension?

Hey guys and gals, need some advice. I've never heard of this company. It's a rear sway, looks like a complete kit for $160.00. The Eibach runs about 320.00. Anyone know the quality of this company and their products? Need some info/advice if ya got it. Thanks

Progress competition parts, especially their sway bars are, are GREAT quality. Hands down one of the finest sways manufactured. They do the R&D for tons of larger companies like TRD for example. They are A-Ok!

The only thing I see that I don't like is that it's not adjustable.

I would guess the simple answer is because it's not adjustable.

You asked about the sway bars. Sway bars can either be solid or adjustable. Hodgekis is usually adjustable, don't know about Eibach.

We're working on getting them started on one. Nothing is out right now, but may be able to get one for our cars before too long. I want a Hotchkis one because of the adjustability. Going from street driving to auto-x to road racing, I'd like to be able to change my setup.

The Progress bar for the balt is not adjustable, but is solid unlike some other bar manufacturers.........

Progress did not feel the front was necessary to correct the steering on this app. Some apps have been like that.

on a ff car for competative driving the front sway bar is usually removed anyway, you want as much articulation from the front suspension as you can get.
