I installed progress rear sway bar on friday and this mod is awsome. It takes so much body roll out of the back. I have nuespeed race springs and it did make the ride a little more bouncy but its not so bad after i have driven with it on four a few days now. I have a skunk 2 cat back and they rest on each other. It only rattals every once in awail. Im going to put somthing between them so the dont make metal to metal contact.Also with the exuast resting on the sway bar you can feel the exuast viberating the car.
Pics soon!

ok today i fliped the bar the other way becouse i had a feeling i installed it wrong, I did it now rides smooth as it did before and and ther is plenty of clearance for the exuast now.

The rear sway is great, and I quadruple checked to make sure it was installed properly too. Kinda tricky!

I just hand tightened mine, and double checked a week later that it was still tight. I heard of one members tie bar fallin off!

sorry to completely whore this thread out but since k20si's box is full i'm just going to post here :D

but thanks for the ft-lbs on the rear lca bolts... i need to know the amount of torque needed for the subframe/sway bracket bolts (4) ... for now i just did them to 16, hope that's good enough ... let me know asap please if you can and it s not too much trouble ;)

thanks!
