I am about to get some sways, I was just wondering what you all who already have them think between TRD or Progress. Also if you know any good sites to get a good deal on the bar. From my local dealership I can pick up a TRD sway for 150, and online the best ive found for Progress is about 200 shipped. Anyways which do you think is better and why. Thanx

 

The Progress does come with new endlinks to account for the adjustability of the bar. That's where your extra $$ is going.

 

Progress fo' sho'. Worth the extra $$$ IMHO.

 

i have the trds and i love mine. two settings race and street. Im not sure about the progress but i do know the hotchikis makes a front and rear sway combo. maybe you should look into that too

 

TRD is good but i've heard progress is better because of the endlinks but if you get the TRD then you can always buy the dezod endlinks as well.

 

Hotchkis front and rear they way to go :D more work but i love it

 

You won't need the Hotchkis set unless you plan on tracking your car. It's just overkill for a daily driver. I'd go with Progress, but they're almost the same.

 

i love overkill and road kill so good to go i love my hotchkis

 

I love when people say this! lol!! And it's always the people who DON'T have the Hotchkis sways who will say it's "overkill"....

If you can afford Hotchkis, get them! If not, get the Progress.

 

^well if you daily drive and don't track/autoX the car then it's not worth putting the hotchkis on the on the stiffest setting, leaving the front on the outter slot and the rear on the 2nd is fine.

 

^^^ It's just personal preference... In all honesty, unless you track your car, sway bars period are an overkill... See what I'm saying?

Is it overkill to have a 300 bhp STI unless you rally??? HELL NO!

 

You're right. I don't have the Hotchkis sways. Or any, for that matter. But if I'm only occasionally taking hard turns, then why would I spend more for more than I need?

I could possibly use the money I saved from that on another mod, easily.

 

Progress sway is one of my favorite mod, cheap and very easy to do.

 

progress,the cost is so close and you get so much more........

 

Understood... My theory is, we really don't "need" any performance parts for our cars unless they're being tracked. All the stuff we add is because we "want" to. But, if you "want" to make the tC handle to the best of it's abilities, then the Hothckis sways are a great choice!

 

I got hotchskis sways and let me tell ya, the difference is night and day. I love them and its my DD.

 

quick question for everyone...does anyone know how far i should adjust the dezod endlinks for my TRD sway bar? i plan on putting on the race setting.

 

mess around with it until you like the setting it's at, but when you adjust one make sure that the other side is the same and not uneven.
