im ready buy strut and sway bars for my XB, and wanted to get some feed back. I dont know what company to go with?

Hotchkis = sway and strut bars
DC Sport = front strut bar
Cusco = sway and strut bars
NRG = front strut bar
Megan = sway and strut

 

Progress should def be on your list!!!!

I would say TRD, but everyone says the Progress is the same as TRD only cheaper...

 

+1 for Progress...

Although, now, the TRD bar is only $10 more than the Progress.

The bars are identical, so which do you prefer, grey or red?

 

Oh yea, use discount code ptscionlife @ ptuning for 5% off.

 

I went with a progress rear sway for $129 I think and a DCsport front tower suport for $119. I got them from autosportstyle.com . They have done me good so far. Ships quick and great prices too.

 

im really not worried about price, im more intrested in performance and quality

which is why we said Progress/TRD... cheap and the best, what more can you ask for?

 

^ Yea, they're literally identical. They're going to make the biggest difference. The Hotchkis bar is too thin.

As far as strut bars, I would go with solid bars rather than the bolted bars like the Cusco, Greddy, Tanabe, Megan, etc. The Hotchkis and DC Sport bars are your best bet. They don't to a ton, but they make the car a bit more neutral in harder cornering. I have the Hotchkis and I'm happy with it. If you ever show off your engine bay, the NRG carbon bar is hot.

 

yeah the NGR bar is my top choice, it just looks heavy duty

 

DC for the front strut bar and either TRD, Progress or Whiteline for the rear sway. The front stock bar is plenty and works great with those 3 rear ones.

 

I'm going with DC in the front and Progress in the back.

 

I went TRD front and rear....Handles great.

 

I'm going to skip the front and just do a progress bar on the rear. Everything I've read really makes the front strut bar seem a little futile, but the rear is a definite.

 

im going to say go w/ the NRG carbon fiber bar. i have it, looks and performs great.

Hotchkis in the front ... Progress in the rear.

 

TRD Rearswaybar, car handles ooo sooo nice.

 

Forget the Hotchkis bar set cause the stock front bar is fine with the Energy endlinks installed.
Go with the DC CS2 strut bar up front and the progress rear swaybar. While under there add the Monroe 5987 shocks for smoother ride quality. You won't be sorry if you follow this recipe.

 

My setup and recommendation:

DC Sports Strut Bar
Progress Rear Sway Bar

 

I have the Megan Racing front strut bar and love it, it looks good and does make a difference. I also think I'm going to go with the Progress rear sway bar because everything I hear is good on that one.
