Like I said before, I'd be willing to bet the Progress bar is little to no better than the stock MSP swaybar. If I had a MSP I'd keep all the swaybars and endlinks stock and just upgrade the springs/struts with a coilover setup. Trust me guys, Mazda did a really good job in this department.
PROGRESSIVE 22mm bar or AXR Clunk Brackets

I hear you and respect what you said... I just would like to hear someone's
direct experience with it that's all!

This is understandable. Just remember you will not be able to reuse the stock MSP endlinks with the Progress swaybar. It is NOT the same design as the stock MSP bar and therefore will require the endlinks from a P5/ES or the AWRs. Not to mention for best handling the swaybars ends need to be as close to parallel with the ground as possible. You can do this with the stock MSP bar (I believe it's this way stock) but you cannot with the Progress bar as the control arms get in the way.

a lot of my draw to this car is the fact that everywhere I looked, people were raving about the suspension. I wouldn't mess with the sways. if you want a lower stance or are hitting the track, put a true coil-over setup on it. otherwise... I wouldn't mess with the suspension.
thats good info - I am stuck some people say the jic are to hard so I
stayed away from the those... and yes I want a nice stance but I am trying
to keep the ride comfortable. So I was thinking of getting the 22mm bar
tein SS etc.. I saw this pic some where and it LOOKS SICK I want this stand!

Looks like one of the many incarnations of Pirana's car. From what I have heard the JICs are indeed a little stiff but they're some of the better options out there. The Tein SSs are pretty good as well. However if you want the best handling and ride the AWRs are the best hands down but very pricey. Rogue just did a decent write-up on the BC Racing coilovers and from what I can get from that those are also very good for the price.
