go with the progress rear sway bar and leave the front one sock. Unless you really want to circuit race your car in that case maybe get the hotchkis front. But if your just a daily driver and want better handling go with the progress rear sway and leave the front as is.

Anybody have the TRD springs with the Progress rear bar? I'd like to know how that handles. Does it oversteer easily or is it pretty tame?

I have goldlines, Progress rear sway, Hotchkis strut bar, and soon to install Energy Suspension end link bushings.
This setup is pretty good in my opinion and I push it all the time.
Do I really need the Front sway bar?
Or should I wait till next year and see what other companies come out with.

I assume you meant, need a new front sway bar.......I don't think so. It's already hefty. I would work on the end links (which you have done) and the radial bushings and replace them with polypropylene bushings. Should be less hassle and way less $$$.

You should read the other thread about swaybars. Thicker aftermarket front swaybars are not a good idea if performance & better handling are what you want. They are great if you want your car to understeer more and force you to slow down even more in turns though. (in other words they suck)
