Alright..so I finally got the Progress bar installed today. Installation went fine, although longer than I expected..after removing the springs, I had to use a couple of jacks to lift up the rear suspension to help the bar mount on the bolts..then once that was done, I lowered the rear suspension again and installed the springs back in place. I was lucky that the bar I bought from a member here already came with the proper bolts. It was a bit uncomfortable getting the sway bar where it had to go, and was kinda concerned that I'd have clearance issues, but it cleared the muffler just fine..
My opinions about the bar: I'm really happy with this addition to the car. I know some people have talked negative about it and how they can't tell a diference, however I do. Mind you, I have other suspension mods though. I'm lowered and also have a FUSB, so without a doubt these two mods help in handling already. The car feels in more control when pushing it harder around the corners..I was able to go at least 10-15 mph faster than before on my favorite on/off ramps/curves. The rear end feels much tighter now. The car now oversteers nicely..just enough to get it around the corners faster and almost got rid of the tedious body roll. So in conclusion, and as other members have already mentioned here, the Progress bar is great. Anyone planning on further improving handling on our cars should definately get it.
