Default Rust Issues with Progress Rear sway??!!

A friend of mine was telling me about how the Progress Rear sway bars have a tendency to rust. I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this or maybe if anyone's every heard this. I dont want to put one on my fg and a year from now it starts rusting out.

Maybe if the rear sway bar scrubbed against a speed bump or something and rubbed through the finish.. that's the only way I could see something like that rusting. Progess is very reputable

I have had mine on for about 8 months. Been through one winter. I checked my endlinks last weekend and did not see any rust on my Progress swaybar.

However, Mike is better judge since he drive where is snows and salt is used on the roadways.

He said he just talk to you a few times and I'm guessing through the site, but dosnt personally know you which you probably realized before completly reading this lol. Oh and your ep3 was just sick. Thanks for taking the time to get the pics Type X

The Progress bars look like they are industrial powdercoated.. i could be wrong... but the only way thats going to rust is if it somehow gets scraped bad.
