I guess it comes down to what you're looking for. I personally wanted a car that didn't wander (that vague feeling that the thread starter described), stayed flat in the turns, and gave me a feeling of confidence and connectedness to the road. I don't auto-x or race. I do enjoy curvy country roads and taking sweeping freeway on/off ramps at 20+mph over the stated speed limit. Sorry, just the rear Si bar didn't do the trick for me. I didn't get that feeling until I put both the Si front and rear sways in.

Now the thought of the 22mm Progress rear and the Si front... now that sounds appealing. But that will have to wait until later. No $$$ for that at the moment, plus I'm loving the car as-is.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.
u wanting the progress rear sway only to upgrade ur si swayn is the same as an si owner upgrading his/her rear sway only. exactly like when i upgrade mine with just the rear si. ur in reality doing the same thing. exactly what im telling this guy. dont waste money on si front sway. itll cause more push than he has now. just do hfp wheels and si rear swaybar.
