I've heard good things about the adjustable one but I think it's a bit over kill if you aren't a hardcore guy with a purpose built only for the track race car... I would just get a regular progress bar upgrade which is still very much noticeable and maybe adjustable endlinks and call it a day.

Re: Progress Rear Sway Bar + Tie Bar
OP - install wise the only thing that will cause problems are the OEM endlinks, they rust like hell and are hard to come apart. Everything else is easy breezy so long as you can realign the lower control arms to get that bolt through. I just use the jack and pry bar to align the LCA with the subframe and push the bolt through. You'll see what i mean when you get there.
I salvaged one of the OEM endlinks, I could've got the other one but I knew I was going to replace it anyway so I just hacked it off with the cut-off wheel
I used the Corsport V.2 endlinks but I'm still not 100% satisfied with them (only $50 for the pair). The Hotchkis endlinks are where it's at but those are big $$
OEM endlinks are prone to breaking with the larger sway bars, they aren't designed to take that much load. I'd recommend replacing them with something.

I think the adjustable ones come with endlinks, but I'd double check just to be sure.

Progress Suspension anti-roll bars dramatically improve handling. How? They minimize the traction-robbing body “lean” that rolls part of the outside tires off the pavement. Our Sport-tuned Anti-roll bars replace skinny OEM bars and rubber bushings with larger diameter (stiffer) alloy steel bars and polyurethane bushings. More roll stiffness means less body “lean”, and the tires stay flatter on the pavement (larger contact patches). The result is more grip and added driver control! Less body roll means more traction, faster cornering speeds, and increased driver confidence. Polyurethane bushings produce crisp response on turn-in. Progress Anti-roll bars are cold-formed in-house using our custom-built precision bending equipment. Both laser-cut and CNC bar ends are MIG welded in place using a precise fixture for an exact fit.
***Note: Box is considered oversized for shipping
***Note: Actual product may be different than pictured

Re: Progress Rear Sway Bar + Tie Bar
I've experienced some issues with this setup - a week or so after the install, the bar punched a hole in my gas tank filler hose and subsequently dumped a bunch of fuel onto my garage floor. I figured that the bar was sitting to high on its mounting points, so I loosed the bolts, pulled to the lowest point possible in the center and tightened everything back up. Luckily, I haven't had any additional issues...

The non adjustable not only is it non adjustable, its 22 mm

24mm is rather aggressive for the street, if you aren't prepared to handle it.
