Since you did it too, now I don't feel quite so silly about calling Joey early, just to be sure that no delays have come up. With so many scams and complete crap in the automotive parts market, I really believe that this part will work as promised, and the price is actually a bargain compared to other brands of conventional sway bars.
I just hope that you don't have any surprise snow or ice storms show up the day before you mount YOUR bar. Thanks AGAIN for introducing all of us to this vendor.

I've been talking to Joey at Progress also. He told me they have Fit coil-overs in development that should be available for a mid summer release. They also took a Fit to the Redline Time Attack for testing and managed a 2nd place in the FWD Street class.
Can't wait to see what they come up with. Thought I would share...

That is the Fit they put the K20 in! I didn't know they were racing it.
Sounds like it did pretty well then. K swapped Fit Information - K20 to K24

Mine Shipped- I'll Bet Yours Did Too!
I guess the e-mail that "none" was talking about is like the one I received from Progress- a UPS tracking number that says that my bar will be delivered on the 15th.! It shipped a week early!
(Sorry leonine, yours will probably take until next week to arrive).

Does anyone know what springs or what suspension the car is running in the pictures? Im ready to get rid of my Vogtland springs, and I have had Progress springs on my last 2 cars, and wouldnt mind having them on the Fit.

Congratulations, neighbor! It looks like the rear springs will have to come out so that the bar mounting bolts can be put through the holes under the spring pads. For anyone else who has new rear springs waiting to go in and a Progress bar on the way, you can knock off both jobs at the same time.
Castro- I ordered and installed an A-Spec front strut tower bar while waiting for the Progress product to ship simply because the strut bar was inexpensive and comes from SoCal also. Thought that it might be a good thing to balance the anti-roll behavior to come from the Progress bar with whatever help the strut bar might give. But, I think that the Tanabe front bar might be a better product, just have not been able to get any further info. on the Tanabe bar from Tanabe, or their dealers, or one of our members who has the Tanabe bar on the way to him. Same price range for Tanabe and A-Spec. A-Spec's fasteners are poor quality.
