I suspect before long, everything will end up being upgraded on this thing. I think as I cure suspension issues, my wife will want stiff handling back like her old mini. not that it would ever be as good but I wouldn't mind being able to sling it through some corners at speed and not feeling like its going to roll over and kill me.

notice their site now says in stock by oct 30th. it was saying early october before.

2Rismo2 10-16-2015 02:07 PM

This is what I see on their site:

*** NOTES ***
*** Shipping early October.
*** We will hold backorders until the kit is available.

I found a shop close to work that is supposed to be getting it, so I'll order from them. Free shipping and even paying taxes it's still cheaper than ordering direct.

I like how the Progress bar doesn't require the removal of the beam covers, but it looks longer (heavier). If you think of it, can you post what it weighs?

The other drawback is the Progress bar looks like it hangs lower, closer to the ground.

Is this the beam cover on this picture? What is its purpose?

I'm hoping to get it for Christmas, but we'll see.

I still need to get tint, but I may be able to push that off since summer is over - haha. Would be nice to get it for driving at night so the headlights behind me aren't too blinding though.

jhn 10-28-2015 05:40 PM

Yes, you can see the plastic cover on the torsion beam just in front of the spring

bigbacon 11-01-2015 02:26 PM

i think it is just the way the photos look when the suspension is hanging there that makes it look like it hangs low. It looks to me like this would tuck up under better than the other one.

It should be heavier as it's listed as 19mm versus 16mm for the UR sway bar.

jhn 11-02-2015 02:48 PM

URmakes both 16 and 19. I have the 19mm. The mounting it slightly different and the UR is a bit smaller. Probably lighter because less material

jhn 11-02-2015 02:49 PM

UR doesn't hang below the shock eyes either.

2Rismo2 11-02-2015 02:54 PM

Oh OK, on UR's site it says 16mm.

Thanks didn't even notice they have a second listed. So what did you guys pay for the UR unit?

bigbacon 11-03-2015 02:29 PM

hmm. UR has an entire under body brace system for these as well?

probably over kill.

stembridge 11-04-2015 01:34 PM

I'd have to look in my records… under $300, for sure. Found mine listed on eBay, and successfully ordered (and obviously received it), but a few days after placing the order, the listing and seller completely disappeared! Had me worried a bit, but I had already gotten a tracking number by that point.

2Rismo2 11-04-2015 04:28 PM

Ha! That must have been hair raising to see them disappear.:ohnoes:

bigbacon 11-09-2015 08:28 AM

anyone that ordered the progress bar get any kind of info yet on when they ship them?

bigbacon 11-09-2015 09:49 PM

What do you know. Just got the email. Should be here monday next week

2Rismo2 11-10-2015 07:45 AM

Nice! Where did you order and what did you pay if you don't mind me asking?
