for others, the second most common one I see is the Cusco part, which is a three piece. I personally don't like it aesthetically :/... but it looks like it is a good alternative.
Good information. Thanks!

I am using the Ultra Racing bar.
I like it because it's one piece.
There are 2 thickness : 16mm and 19mm

2018 Fit Sport. And I'm using a Progress sway bar I bought and installed two months ago. Maybe they revised the design. But Mine doesn't rub or clunk.

That’s good to hear. I have the same car. Do you notice a difference in the handling?

Big difference. The car leaned a bunch at freeway speed mountain passes on sharp corners. Especially switchbacks. Now the car is much more stable and doesn't lean as bad. My car has stock suspension for now. We use it a lot for daily use road trips more than performance driving. But it was a great upgrade part for the cheap price.

Thanks. Mine has stock suspension also. I like the manual gearbox. It is a fun car, not high performance but it’s great for my needs.

Did you buy it direct from Progress, or a vendor?

Ask them for a discount code, if they have one. They gave me 30% off when I ordered mine. It may or may not work for you as well.

I installed the 16mm bar as my ride is lowered and i don't want too harsh a ride as they make the rear stiffer. There's very much reduced roll and improved cornering experience.

But going over humps, you can feel the change in spring rate.

Overall, it's a good and noticeable improvement in handling performance for me.
