Default Progress Vs. Hotchkis

Whats the difference performance wise between Progress and Hotchkis sway bars? Also I know Hotchkis sells a set for front and rear, but ive only been able to find the rear for Progress... do they make a set? and is it important to swap both?

ive read horror stories of people using hotchkis rears without the matching front and it not working out well. are they true?

Thanks for the clarification in advance.

Progress only sells a Rear Bar that is 22mm in size..

Hotchkis sells both front & rear...Raer size is 27mm Not sure about front.

i think its because hotchkis has a larger rear size that they include both because if im correct it throws the car into terrible oversteer if u just have the hotchkis rear, but progress doesnt seem to have that same problem i think its because its a 22mm but dont take my word for it, its more of an assumption.

The Progress bar is likely solid, whereas the Hotchkis is holllow. The car honestly is not much in need of more front bar. A rear bar will suffice for those desiring more rotation.

the hotchkis bar is larger because it is hollow. also, the front bar has 2 settings, and the rear has three settings. the front one is hard to install, but worth it. i had the trd rear sway, but it wasn't what i was looking for, the hothkis set is awesome.

Absolutely. The Progress rear bar alone makes a tremendous difference when coupled with some good endlinks.
