Hah. Bump from dead Hank?
I'm probably going with either Progress or Hotchkis.

Ultimately I think they are all comparable. It just comes down to who you want to support and cost. I wouldnt pay more for one than another when they all do the same thing.
I forgot about this one. May i mention two things? well sure i can. The Hotchkis has two stiffness settings. and the Cobb does not i think. I have the H's obviously. I have not seen the Progress bars. Besides that i would agree, speedster 3. But i must say that the rear sway bar was one of my favorite mods and a great bang for the buck. So whichever you get Hank you will be pleased. Ok that mighta been more than two things.

The Cobb also has two settings (its stiffest setting being the Hotchkis soft setting). Reasons I went with Progress is due to the beefier bushing mounts and the powdercoated gray for a less flashy look. But they all do perform the same I reckon and they seem to be about the same price. Could've purchased Cobb for $165 shipped, but I went with the Progress GB for $165 shipped

hotchkis bars. both of them.
rsb gets all the credit for adding such a great feel to the car. it feels shorter, comes around turns quicker...blah blah blah.
the front keeps it flat in turns and that is underrated.
both bars.
hotchkis ftw

The bushings and keepers are much better that is for sure. Thanks for the link to pics. Do you have it installed yet? It does look trick. Just installing the rear bar allowed my car to drift! It was a riot. It will come out at the limit but very controlled. I ended up with both Hotchkis bars and Cobb springs. The front bars a pain to install though. You will notice a big difference with just the rear. Take her to an open parking lot and do some figure eights at about sixty and let us know what you think.

oh i guess i should have read further. Any hoo, be sure to report back. Do the install on ramps to keep the suspension loaded is one of the things i recall and try to center the bar using the links as a guide. I did have one of my brackets shift abit so take alook and retighten after a week or so. And i did add more grease at the fittings after some driving time.
