Got my progress rear sway bar in... trying to decide if i should test it out now or wait til my springs and strut tower bar get in... drop it all on at once so i can feel a complete difference.. im kinda impatient though i may put it on lol.

 

try it out now and let us know how big of a diffrence it alone makes

 

Go try it out. It makes a big difference. I felt a bigger effect with that than the strut bar.

 

I think i man do that cuz im very anxious to see the difference and the spot i ordered my springs thru fugged up my order and i probaby wont get them for another week.

XM15 did u put your strut bar on first and if so did u feel a good difference.. Im up in the air on MRZ vs. DC Sports(probably gonna post a thread for that too)

 

I installed the strut bar first, and I did feel a good difference. The sway bar did have a bigger effect though.

IMO, go with the strut bar that is cheapest; they do the same thing. Unless of course you want a more "dressed up" look to the engine. In that case go with the MRZ.

 

HUGE Difference, add them springs and strut and you will LOVE the way it feels... thats the setup i have

 

Orng do you have the DC Sports strut bar too?

 

Nah, i got the MRZ looks nicer and easier to put in

 

Aight.. im gonna contemplate this for a week while i wait on these springs.. i think im gonna throw this sway bar on though and go test it out .. I most likely will go MRZ too .. but 50bucks may make the difference

 

Unless you are really big on the under the hood look, just go with the DC. Put the $50 elsewhere.

 

I bought the MRZ brushed aluminum bar a month or so ago. It looks stronger than the dc bar, but it prob. doesn't make a diff.

With the FSTB, you'll right away have a stiffer feel in the steering wheel, ness understeer for sure.

I'm waiting on my progress rear-sway bar to arrive
+ modernperformance coilovers; let me know how it goes!

 

I ordered the DC sports... i love the MRZ look.. but the 50 bucks can go towards my tires... I will let u all know if i drop the bar on this weekend

 

Has anyone put in a Traction Bar? Does it help?

 

You mean like the BWoody ones?

 

I have Sportlines and the DC Sports front strut bar, and the Progress rear sway bar is next up in terms of suspension mods. My girlfriend is getting it, along with the Prothane tranny mount inserts, for me for Christmas.

 

Awesome gotta love the rear sway bars!

 

Might look stronger, but the DC Sports is carbon steel, which is very strong. I got the DC Sports to initially go with my AEM CAI, as AEM owns DC Sports, so I was trying to do some brand matching under the hood.

But if you want the strongest strut bar, then get the JBP.

 

its called a CA Traction Bar..it is supposed to help with wheel hop

 

yeah, and like that guy said above, BWoody makes some too. Actually, to the best of my knowledge, BWoody made their traction bar before CA made theirs.

 

I sold mine to XM i believe and im missing it I think if my turbo plans fall through because of CPP, i will beef up my suspension and repaint my bumpers and wait till spring to get my turbo.

 

That JBP one is NIIIIIIIIIIICE but again the pricing for what im using brings up the question is the cost worth the results to me.. I ordered the DC one from Turbo tech since it was only 99 bucks.

I didnt get to install the rear sway this weekend since im packing to move.. Strut bar should be in this weekend.. dont know whats up with the springs.. depending on the lead time on them i will wait and take a day and drop it all on at once...

 

I just got my MRZ strut bar. Hopefully i get the chance to put it on tomorrow and hopefully it completes my suspension mods. That'll put me at the MRZ strut bar, progress lowering springs and sway bar. Cant wait to see if there is a difference or not.

 

My last decision to make is Sportlines Vs. Progress springs. The Progress price is appealing but i think i may want to go with the lower drop with the sportlines... so many decisions lol

 

The Sportlines dont drop it much more than the Progress springs, but they do even it out more.

 

yeah.. its almost 100 bucks diff for about a .5 inch difference in drop.. I do want the best look but that 100 could easily go to the struts/shocks i will need for either
