Anybody have HFP suspension and a Progress rear sway?

[mmm def]

I just ordered my HFP kit this morning and am debating if I should put the progress bar on. I know rear sways help a ton, I had one on my Legacy GT, but is it overkill on the si?

Also how will the stock endlinks hold up with a thicker sway bar?

I have the HFP kit and Progress swaybar. Love it. The car feels like it's on rails. I upgraded the endlinks to the Hotchkis 05 rsx endlinks which are greasable balljoint style and way beefy. A+++

[rippars]

had both on my ex and i loved it! im sure the endlinks could be used with the sway bar since my stock endlinks held up with the progress sway bar and the ex sway bar is smaller than the stock si sway bar. in the end if i dont go with tein ss i'll be going and getting the hfp suspension again. really miss the setup i had in the ex since i could feel the difference in turns in the si without it.

I've got both! Handles awesomely and the ride is barely affected.

I emailed Progress about the endlinks and they said the stock ones are fine. I haven't broken any yet. I've done some spirited driving and will do quite a bit more next weekend. I'll let you know if I break anything.

soory for the question, but, after installing the sway bar, even the suspension, it is necessary to align the car?

Sway bars: NO

Entire suspension: ABSOLUTELY!

Forgive me for the ignorance, but I'm new to suspension work. So, if I install a swaybar, I should upgrade the end-links as well?

For our application, no. It appears that Progress gave the endlinks an OK as far as strength and rigidity. If you wanted to be sure, get the RSX endlinks from Hotchkis. But, personally, unless you plan on tracking it, if Progress says it's cool, you probably have little risk of damage for everyday driving.

In other words...get the endlinks jejej

So with the hotchkis endlinks (rsx 05) fit perfect with the progress swaybar and in the car? no mods needed?

Y'might want to PM cappykd about that. :)

The Hotchkis ones fit perfect. They are adjustable, so you have to adjust them to match the stock ones.

They may work but they are harsh and noisy. I had a set and I replaced them with the Hotchkis.

ok, thanks. Also, do you have the progress rear sway only? Or both rear and front? Where to find these at a good price?

[Torredo]

my question regarding sway bars here is:

i have the DX-G model which to my knowledge has no
swaybar in the rear?
So is there still a place to install one if its not there and
i would need what?
- Antiroll bar
- Bushings
- Mounts & bolts
- Endlinks

Cuz im going to install the Si sways up front for sure
but what do you guys reccomend for the rear as i drive
hard in corners (also have Eibach Pro kit installed already)/
thanks!
