Progress swaybay

Hello everyone,

I just went for a bit of a spirited drive (not too hard yet as still breaking her in) in my 19 Sport and was thinking that the Progress rear swaybar would be a welcome addition to this car. I just have a few questions that hopefully you guys (and gals?) could help me with.

1. Is there any issues fitting it on a 2019 Sport model? I think I saw somewhere on here that he Sport rear axle has a different part number so just wanted to be sure.

2. How aggressive is this bar? Am I going to be chasing the rear end on wet on/offramps and such or does it just help the car corner a little flatter?

Thanks for any help or input, much appreciated

Can't answer the first part, my car is a 2015, but for the second, it's not too aggressive. Felt like it really wanted to understeer before, now it's only a slight tendency to understeer with the bar on. Haven't lost rear traction once.

i've had one on my '19 lx since it was new , it's not that aggressive , it's not going to mess you up in the wet at all , it'll corner a little flatter and add some more stability at highway speeds

It's a nice little piece...I can't vouch for fitment on a '19 ('15 here), but let's put it this way. I could tell from the moment I put it on, it feels/corners much better. And also, my wife does not notice it at all., if that says anything about how "aggressive" it might feel. It feels like it should've come on the car in the first. Have noticed no oversteer issues except for one particular curve on one particular road in the rain....and the car did that stock anyway, so …..I could be full of shtuff, but I think it was worth the price, and installation couldn't be easier, honestly.

Thanks for the input guys, sounds like what I am looking for.I checked the part number on the rear beams and they all seem to be the same number so I don't know where that different rear axle came from.

Thank you very much

It's probably the most significant in terms of "feel" when it comes to mods. It definitely wants to turn it more readily and a little flatter on turns.

if level of aggressive is a concern, I own a Megan Rear Strut Bar and the bar thickness is a little smaller in diameter compared to the Progress brand

Bonus = Megan was cheaper
