Where's the best place to get the Progress rsb?

What's a good reputable company out there to get the Progress rear sway bar at a decent price? I was looking at Gravana, but they want $40 just to ship it, f-that. Anything besides fleabay, I'm not much on buying parts off there.

Thanks, I'll be getting it from them.


I wonder if it'll make a worthwhile noticeable difference with my totally stock suspension?

Did you notice any difference in ride quality after installing it? Does the bar make the ride rougher or noticeably stiffer over stock?

Can anyone else comment on if the Progress RSB affects the ride quality after installing it? To me a little bit of an improvemnt in handling isn't worth a bumpy ass ride. I'm really hoping that there is no difference at all between stock and with the bar on.

It does not make the ride any more "bumpy" it tightens up the suspension to make the corners feel like the car is more firm.

u will feel a difference... the reduction of the body roll in my opinion is worth( I HATE BODY ROLL)..it wasnt and overwhelming difference but it did help a good bit and with springs and a strut bar it should begreat

So it effects the suspension like front strut bar basically but on the rear, right? On previous cars I've been in and owned that have been lowered with somewhat stiff spring rates, the ride quality sucked on raods that were not totally smooth. I guess I'm just used to that when thinking suspension upgrades.

Does the two bolts on each side actually do a good job of supporting the bar, or is there other pieces included to support it to the solid rear axle? To me it seems like there would not be much support and a lot of flex in the middle of the sway bar.

That bar is SOLID and heavy.. it would take a lot to flex that bar. The bolts secure the bar to the car very well... there arent any other pieces to it... just the bar, bolts and bolt flanges... but it will be secure..just make sure u tighten it well
