Default Poll: H-techs or Progress rear Sway?

Okay so I have been waiting for a long time to start the suspension modifications on my xb, today my hotchkis strut bar got here $80 on e-bay . But the real question is this, I could purchase a progress rear sway bar for $140 shipped or tein h-techs ( I'm living in Morgantown WV, aka hills potholes and awkward drive way and shopping center approach angles so im diggin the subtle drop ) for about $170 shipped.... what do I do? I want the most reduction of body lean and the best gain of nuetrality in corners. Thank you. And if anyone has a picture of an xb on h-techs with 15" i would be eternally greatful.

Default ...Get both....

I have the H-Tech's and the Progress Rear Sway bar. I also have the DC front strut tower bar. You want them all.

You bought a front sway bar? Did you know how beefy the stock front sway bar is?
I saw how thick it was and decided NOT to buy one from Hotchkis, instead, I installed ENERGY ABSORBING BUSHINGS to replace the puny stock end links.
This tightens up the front end nicly. If you do all that work to install the front sway bar, do not re-use those stock end links.

I will vote for the rear sway bar because it is so easy to install.
