yeah the moutning onto the shock mounts scares me. i like the progress sturydier mounting even if it isnt as fruitful of an upgrade.

it's exerting alot more force onto the shock mounts than ANY shock ever could.

Think about this then. If youre worried about force exerted onto the lower shock mount, why have you not ever said anything in the past in regards to air suspension? What do you think the rear end rests on when the bags are dumped? Ill tell you what, it isnt a magic bump stop attached the rear torsion bar... its the rear shocks, which pushes straight down onto the lower mount that youre worried about. Running a whiteline bar wouldnt hurt anything.

with shortened shocks youd end up resting on the torsion or the tires. Id rather rest on the bumpstops...

At least you can admit it when youre wrong, unlike many on this site.

Thats in part why i don't run air suspension. Another reason is because im more into the performance side of things than show.

i might be selling mine due to the fact that the whiteline will not fit with bags in the rear.

Why would you want to? No offense or anything, but bags are strictly made for show where as a sway bar is there to help in body roll and performance. It would be pointless to buy it because you shouldn't be performance driving with bags to begin with. Atleast, i wouldn't advise it.

I just ordered the Whiteline bar but didn't know about the way it mounts. Does it work better than the TRD/Progress style?

How much less roll than the Progress? Just by looking at the two it seems they are in different leagues but i wonder....
It would seem the add on Progress bar is better suited for daily drivers who want things a little tighter, whereas the Whiteline is more hardcore for autocross or the like.

Actually.... maybe i haven't seen the Whiteline bar for an xB. Does anyone have any pics?
