    progress rear sway results

    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!

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