Ordered a Progress Technology rear sway bar

**Cookstar** · 06-12-2006, 03:47 PM

According to sickyute, the Si stock rear sway bar is 17mm and this one is 22mm. I'll put it on the same time I put my HFP suspension on. Review to follow...

You should have good response with the progress bar. I had the sway and tie on the type-s i had. Word of caution...keep an eye on the endlinks. The progress bar is beefy with little to no real play and the stock endlinks are kinda chincy. I would recommend if they do snap on you, get a set of hotchkis endlinks.

I ordered mine from an ebay seller that has a feedback score of over 2000 and a positive percentage of 100%. It was $132 plus $20 shipping.

Not sure...I know it says 03+ civic for those but I would call them and ask. I don't think I paid that for mine...got mine for like 125 I think. Best double check with them. I know the price is steep but it will def be able to take the stresses of the bar.

TwofouroSi · 06-12-2006, 11:43 PM

Also curious, buuuuuuuuuuump : )

**sickyute** · 06-13-2006, 12:42 AM

fix it when it breaks.

whitecivicsi · 06-13-2006, 10:57 AM

I ordered my sway bar last night also...hope to get it soon.

I sure hopet he endlink that you guys are talking about works for a while before they even think about breaking. lol

NoRegrets78 · 06-13-2006, 11:34 AM

I have only heard of a few cases of endlinks breaking and most were with autox guys. I used to autox my S but what really did the stock endlinks in was a steep driveway at work that I had to take on an angle. I heard the BANG when it popped. Sounded like I broke something worse.

I hope you're right bud. I really don't feel like fixing something on my car when I can spend the money on something else like GAS. lol

Wow, this is right up my alley. I was planning on the HFP suspension kit and the Progress rear bar as well!

I sent Progress an email. They said it would work fine with the stock endlinks. I guess I'll find out.

Called them they said I should get my sway bar in a couple of days. Hopefully I can get it on by this weekend. Will post pictures.
