RSX sway bars

The progress is well worth the money. It's a solid 22mm bar. The Hotchkis(sp) bar is hallow so it's a bit lighter. And, it's an adjustable bar. The only thing is it doesn't come with a subframe brace and it tends to snap stock endlinks.
With my progress, i have snapped one stock endlink so far after 1 year of hard use. This was due mainly to my error. Recently i took off the split clamps that keep the sway bar from moving right to left, which caused the endlink to bind and snap the plastic end off of it. I put the clamps back on and haven't had a problem ever since. I love the bar.
When i purchased my progress bar the Hotchkis(sp) bar wasn't out yet. If i were to buy another bar over again i would go with the Hotchkis(sp) because you're able to adjust the "stiffness," but make sure you get their adjustable endlinks also.
Either bar should do a good job with keeping the rear end planted. If you go with a thicker rear bar you might want to look into going with stiffer springs also. Soft springs with a stiff bar in the rear usually results in subframe tear out. I'm using 600lb/in Eibach ERS springs in the back right now.
Good luck...late

At 86$ you cannot go wrong.

use the stock front bar. using a stiffer front bar on a FWD will only induce more understeer. a stiffer bar allows the weight transfer from side to side during cornering to occur more quickly and easily overloads the outside front tire's maximum grip.
