I've never heard anything bad about Progress and I know a lot of Nissan guys use them. What are your opinions?

I can get both the front and rear Progress sway bar kit for $320 shipped!

The front bar is 27mm thick! and the back is 24mm (adjustable w/ endlinks).

Would anyone have negative things to say about this setup or would you recomend something different? i.e.- Suspention Techniques/ Cusco/ Eibach???

These are completely Solid bars and they're about as thick as I've seen... Looks good to me.

 

Running the thickest swaybar out there is not going to always offer you the best performance.

 

Trust-worthy name though right? I haven't heard anything bad about Progress, ahve you? Also can you please explain why a thicker bar won't help? I'm asking b/c I really don't know, I'm not trying to be a smart ***. Thanks

 

I don't see why not, but I personally wouldn't run a 27mm front bar.

In fact, if it were my car I wouldn't go any bigger than the stock bar in front at all unless I had a clutch-pack LSD, but it's a bit of a "rock vs. hard place" dilemma in this case.

With the RSX's awful McPherson struts up front and horrible geometry out back, you will ideally want to minimize suspension movement as much as possible to limit front camber loss during roll and avoid binding the rear. With stiff springs the ride will suffer, and with a big front bar you can increase inside wheelspin and limit the ability to apply power at corner exit.

Progress is a reputable brand and I've been nothing but impressed with their products on all equipped vehicles I've driven.

 

What would be my best bet as far as handling goes then? Stiff ride doesn't bother me at all, and infact I'm the opposite (if it's stiff, ruff ride, it's my cadfalac... soft suspension makes me car sick, lol)

That being the case, what would you recommend making the biggest improvement in the handling of my RSX?
