I think Justin has one, I have heard mixed reviews about how well they work. Some people swear by them, others don't think they benifit the car.

I went with a bigger front bar in mine, I think it makes the front feel more solid when you corner.

on a double wishbone car I would say yes do it it will help a lot on a rear beam axle that already has both wheels connected, the improvement will be drastically reduced.

A front bar will make the car feel more solid and also understeer more if you go bigger.

Why not ask Ben what he runs on his setups if you're looking for better handling.

I have this bar, and it's the most worthy mod on the Fit. The difference is night and day. Steering is much more neutral. good mod for our FWD, highly recommended imo.

How was the install? Also, what suspension setup are you running?

Installation was straight-forward. It comes with very detailed instructions.

The Progress RSB review thread is miles long, with at least 100 positive reviews- maybe one or two negative. Not everyone who does his own work on his Fit has the required skill to do the work properly. That is the most likely reason for any negative reviews. If you can buy a new Progress bar for less than the Progress retail price, it is a good deal. The Progress bar is the most effective Fit mod for the least expense.
