Ya I'm getting psyched to add mine. I'm still rolling stock wheels and tires, but it should pair nicely with my Swift springs. Axion says it should be shipping to me on Feb 8. Can't wait tho! :ohnoes:

Sigh
 

I'm getting tired of reading these reviews and getting notifications in my email about how much you guys are loving this. This is nonsense!

I just broke down and ordered a Progressive Sway bar. :(


**Grumble**

:rotfl: nice! Have you made any suspension mods yet?

I thought about your question. I thought maybe I ordered something a while back to stiffen up the chassis. I'm no a suspension guy. The car already sits low and I know I don't want the underside bottoming out during the January-March snow storms. So I went searching through car porn in the basement and found this....

It looks like Tanabe front strut tower. It was in a box from Axion Industries. :confused:

So thanks! I totally forgot about them. I guess I'll be putting both of them on when the sway bar comes in. :p

Ordered mine from thmotorsports on 1/8 and haven't received an update yet. I'm assuming I'll probably get mine around the same time as you.

you, hopefully, won't be disappointed.

I actually just received a pleasant surprise notification from Axion that the bar's been shipped, tracking number included, although the number isn't active in the FedEx system yet, probably get tracking info in the next day or two. :thumbups:

Oh man, you crack me up. Glad I could jog your memory. I understand your concerns with lowering considering your local climate. We don't have those problems in San Diego. I must say however that suspension modifications could help you get those 1/4 mile times you're gunning for...

Was surprised to find a box on my doorstop wrapped in plastic bags for protection from the snow. My Progress sway bar has arrived! It's going to get installed tomorrow after I clear off the driveway.

Right on. Mine's arriving on Monday. Looking forward to reading about the installation/results.

Ordered my Progress bar from THMotorsports for $164.30 after 3% off on 1/16. Still no update... Hoping to hear something soon. I'm so excited!

That's where I ordered mine for the same price and code. I ordered on January 8th, got an email a few days that it's being processed and then the tracking number on the 22nd that it had been shipped on the 20th. It arrived early morning on the 22nd.

Since I'm snowed in, I installed the Progress sway bar that came in the mail yesterday. Very straightforward install:

Attachment 10416

Someone mentioned putting acorn nuts on the exposed threads, I think that's a good idea. Until I can get to the hardware store, I just put some grease to protect the threads.

I can't wait to test it out, but it'll be a while with all the snow that's coming down.

Sway bar installed tonight. Super easy. Got to test drive it a bit and the difference is quite noticeable. Body roll is greatly reduced. Absolutely worth the money. Swift springs and Progress rear sway bar are a great combination. I imagine this is what a Fit Si might feel like ;). Not much else to say. The hype is real. Next step is improved tires (205 50 16) but I need to wear out the factory rubber first.

Are the 205s going on stock wheels?

That's the plan. I fantasize about aftermarket wheels, but I think I'll keep the stock ones for a while mostly because I can't justify the purchase – I don't AX and the design of the stock wheels doesn't offend me now that they're plastidipped black.

Post pics when you have them mounted. Curious to see how they look.

See this thread...

Finally got a chance to drive the Fit into work and I could tell turn in was better. I wasn't really pushing it as the roads are still wet and icy on my morning commute. More testing will ensue but I'm happy with the purchase. :)

All the positive reviews is overwhelming. Gawd.....will be installing this along with the Tanabe strut tower bar Friday.

Not sure if anyone posted weight information. I'll be sure to weigh it as well since I have been weighing all my aftermarket parts. No matter how insignificant it seems.



I drooled a little bit when I read that. That's not nice WagovanMan. :mad::thumbups:
