Progress and TRD are the same size bars so you'll get what i'd figure to be identical performance out of either one. i have a TRD RSB and its great really brings the car into a new state of handling.
we also had a disscussion about this on micro team as well when it was xA team.

Progress and TRD are both 22mm, so you should expect to see just about the same improvement with the bars.
The newer Hotchkis bar is 29 mm, so that will prove to handle even better.

The best deal going now is like 140 shipped for the Progress. Best bang for the buck next to Monroe struts.

Lol yeah, Hotchkis is 24mm. I don't know why I said 29, must have been tired that night.
Are you sure they are hollow as well? I was under the impression that their new bars are solid.
