i remember reading a thread some time ago about the ST bar having clearance problems and people wanted to know about the progress bar, so heres my review of it.

The Progress bar is 7/8" thick(22.23mm) and the st bar 13/16"(20.64mm). The progress bar is over a mill thicker. The design is better aswell. the lenth of the bar from the bend to the end link is shorter, leaving less leverage, and requiring more force to twist the bar. The bar also mounts slightly higher on the rear subfram for better road clearance and there is more exhaust clearance. I'm not to familiar with the pricing on both bars but the progress bar cost my brother $140. Driving the car the difference is subtle under normal driving, only under extreme cornering u can feel the rears resistence to rolling. I highly recomend the bar if your willing to pay the small difference of the ST bar.

Progress bar(I was kinda dissappointed when i saw it wasn't green like all their other products )




ST bar

 

thanks mike! just the post i was looking for. where can I buy it for $140? think you can hook me up with that price too? I haven't seen openloop in any of the accord meets in awhile. what's new?

 

accordfreak... so no S/T bar for you then?

 

thanks for the info, nice write up.

 

Hmm.. my progress rear sway is green and costed around 200-225 if I remember correctly.

 

you guys should check out Eibach bars as well. the rear is same diameter as stock but the material used is much, much thicker. clearance isnt an issue what so ever.

 

Good post. I've been thinking about changing out my rear ST sway bar with the progress. I think i may now.

 

we get it for $140 through our account. if u want one we can get ya one

yeah, i've been eyeing this bar but for the price made me want the ST .. but now since it's $140 i i think want to get this instead.

 

are you running a stock bar with that progress bar. that bar on a LX sounds like a recipe for lots oversteer.

 

theres a ST front bar on the car
