You should notice quite a difference between no bar/13mm bar. I am putting in the progress 22mm bar, even bigger difference

They make a 22mm bar? The Progress bar I've got is 19mm.



The one above it is the stocker. It was 12 or 13mm.

Could be, I heard 22mm... According to Mitsu, the stock is 13mm.
RRM is it 19 or 22mm?


Wait, I ordered the RRM one, I was sure the one RRM sells is the same as the progress one, or is that wrong?

I got mine from RRM. So far, I'm very happy with it. I was throwing it around some curves on my way home from work, and swerving back and forth out on some backroads, just to feel what no body roll feels like.

This sway bar is next on my list of upgrades. Just wondering if I should also look into the lowering strings from Progress. What is the best, just the springs, or just the sway bar? Are both a kick @ss.

Or should I consider tie bars, I read that a lower and upper tie bar in the back with the sway bars to too much?

I'm still running the stock springs. I'm considering getting the Progress springs. I have the upper and lower tie bars, though, and I don't think it's too much.

Doesn't feel much, if any, bumpier than stock. It definitely helps keep the car level in turns.

Now I just want some stickier tires, and better brakes, and I'll be happy for a while.
