Progress RSB worth it??

Hey guys i have a HKS exaust and T1R coils on the way. I was woundering if the RSB will work with the exasut and the coils or will they get in the way of fitment. And i have only heard good things about it but will it be worth it for me to buy if i have T1R coils. I mean am i going to notice any difference i know u do on stock suspension. Thanks for any help on this guys

progress swaybar will help with handling more than coilovers. keeps your fit "flat" through the turn instead of leaning

^^^^^I 100% Agree.

I have Ksports coilovers on mine and took some time to adjust them to my liking. When I had my Tanabe Springs and then added the Progress rear sway bay I noticed a Huuuuge difference. When I swapped my springs for the coilovers I noticed a nice difference in handling but the difference was more noticeable with the sway bar. In my honest opinion it's the beast bang for the buck as far as suspension wise. You will deff notice it.

the sway bar helps no matter what spring or coil combo you run. it is the best and most efficient bar you can install on your car to help handling.

Progress should make one that's more thicker diameter. The current one is nice 22mm, but a thicker one is always better for the people that are adventurous.
