Default Any problems with Hotchkis springs mixed with TRD rear sway?

I searched and couldn't find the straight answer I'm looking for, so here it goes...

I'm getting Hotchkis springs in a couple of weeks and wanted to get the Progress rear sway, but McGeorge parts has the TRD rear sway for $99 plus shipping on ebay right now and it ends in about 14 hours. From what I've read the Progress is pretty much the TRD sway but has an extra setting, but for the price, I can't pass it up. I just wanted to make sure there aren't any problems with getting this combination before I do it. Start chiming in!

combining the trd rear sway bar with the hotchkis sway bar causes snap oversteer which is not a desirable handling characteristic.

That's pretty good, but I don't want the TRD springs...I already have stechs but am switching them for Hotchkis.

It was a great deal, I just wonder why they didn't run it on their site or put it up in our Sponsored Sales section. I just ordered my Hotchkis springs last night from TRDSparks and they have already shipped....fantastic service.....it looks like next Sunday will be the install day for the sway bar and springs!!!!!
