I've had an ongoing problem with my progress 24mm bar kit. Ever since I got it I have broken a U clamp that hold the bushing in at least one every few months. Has anyone else experienced this? I just reordered the replacement pieces again to fix the problem because I didn't have anymore clamps, and when I got them... to my surprise... THEY WERE MADE FROM A DIFFERENT MATERIAL! I don't know, but this looks a lot nicer and stinger than the last. love the way it looks... :-)

Does anyone know if PROGRESS has changed this for the reason that I'm posting up here?... or is this just for looks?

Haven't had this problem (yet), but curious when you bought the bar?

How low is the car and what springs are under it? reason being, if the anti-roll bar comes in contact with the lower control arm under load the impact will be transferred directly to the clamps... which at that point is the weakest link and most prone to damage.
