Progress RSB on Stock Suspension... worth it?

I don't want to lower my car. Not worth the hassle on a subcompact with an automatic.

With that in mind, will I notice a difference? My only change to the handling has been wider tires (205/50s).

People that have installed the rear anti sway bars seem to like them a lot.. I think it would be a good thing to do since you have wider tires... I'm not into lowering a car that is already too low to the ground but I bit the bullet and put Swift springs on my car and have been very pleased with the way they have done so much to improve the driving experience.

Its a nite and day difference with the sway bar on. The rear will want to turn with the front without any flex. trust me, it's well worth it. I'm not planning to lower my car as I haul things and it's my daily driver, but I did put the progress rsb on there. bang for the buck !

A heavier front anti sway bar and a rear bar is on my list of things to do but I need to get the chassis bars on first along with many other things before I get around to getting them... Slowly but surely, but there will always be things that need to be done to it.

Doesn't a front anti sway bar add understeer?

i wouldnt add a front bar unless you do a lot more suspension stuff and get better tires.

to answer the op - definitely go with the progress rsb. best bang for the buck, suspension-wise
