Default front sway bar

Hey everyone,

I currently have a progress rear sway bar, it's great but my front is still sloppy. do any of you guys know or can recommend a good front sway bar? also, is it ok to mix and match sway bars? like if i have a progress rear with a hotchkis front?

Start with a front strut bar. That should take the play out on the situation

here is my current set-up, I have H&R sport springs, koni yellow adjustable struts, both front and rear strut bars and a progress rear sway bar. my rear feels awesome but my front is still leaning like crazy!!! I want to eliminate the body roll in the front...so therefore I NEED the front sway bar, the front strut bar only help with body flex, not with body roll.

so....any opinions???

well the progress was made to team up with stock front sways. i think if you just go out and get a stiffer front sway, you'll end up with more understeer, so my only suggestion would be to go with a full hotchkis sway set.

Stiffen the front struts.

Otherwise, swap your sway kit for the whole Hotchki's setup.

is it ok to mix and match sway bars from different companies? i don't want to spend more money on a full set if it'll be the same as just getting a front sway bar.

no. the progress was made to work with the soft stock front sway bar. hotchkis is stiffer both front and back to work with each other. if you want to go the safe route, i'd buy the set. if you're an adventurer, go for mix and match, see how it works, which will probably not work out well.
