It really doesn't matter which brand you buy they are all pretty much the same, what you should be looking for is size, eg: 24mm or 25mm or 27mm? Solid or Hollow?

The Perrin is nice because it comes with the sturdier brackets that replace the flimsy stock units. I can't compare it to others, but I like mine. (got the end links as well)

Is this for your OZ?

I've been using the one from RRE, renamed progress I think, and have got many track days on it. No broken brackets or bushings yet.

Go with Progress.. Best $180 I ever spent. Instant difference when I put this on. I have mine set on medium (middle hole) on the sway bar ends and my EVO whips around now were as before, it would understeer....

got it at RRE if you are in SoCal for that price.

The Perrin will do the same thing, but its more bling, and more expensive....

Both are 25mm and they will both give you a night & day difference vs stock!

Just take your strut bar off the front and zip tie to the *STOCK* rear sway bar and call it a day!

Go with RRE. It's a progress bar with beefy mounts (just like the Perrin but without the silly 'P').

I'm currently using the Agency Power 27mm rear sway bar. Decent mounts and good hardware, it's heavy though!
