Default Rear Only Progress Sway Bar

I have a member of another board willing to trade me his Progress sway bar and was wondering what you guys thought of the Progress brand, and if having just the rear sway bar installed will have any adverse effects on the handling.

i have only the progress rear sway on my car and there was a day and night difference in handling when you take a turn or change lanes fast. The car feels planted and feels like one big piece, you can turn with out worrying about the car feeling like its going to tip over. Get it if it's in good condition.

Alright, Thanks man. I haven't seen it yet, but I will get pics of it and post them here for you to examine. I don't know much about them to be able to tell if they're good or not.

I"ve had mine on for a while now... one of the first mods I did. It"s 2-3mm thicker than the OE, depending who you listen to and has 2 sets of holesfor "adjustment."
I will upgrade one of these days. I"m thinking about the Eibachs, but the RB"s are thicker, and the Hotchkis and Cobb are the hollow bars and much more expensive.
The Progress is not a bad start though, and certainly easier than having to replace the front bar (dropping the front sub-frame) along w/the rear.
