Im torn as to which rear sway bar I should go with and why, Progress seems to be the most popular I dont hear much about TRD.

Any input;the whys and why-nots? Also if anyone has a used of either let me know PLEASE!!!

 

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.

from wat i hear TRD are Progress bars .. TRD just paints them and puts TRD logo... i have Progress bar and love it...

 

hotchkis...the beefier one

 

hotchkis this one, the front anti sway bar is big enough http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=1685

 

I love my progress

 

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.

 

if only i could fund a rear sway bar under $100

 

I have Progress and like it. Also plan to change the front sway's bushings as i hear it makes a good difference.

 

Not beefier, it's hollow where the Progress and TRD are solid. Take your pic, they all do a great job. Forget replacing the front bar tho cause it works great with a bushing upgrade from Energy.

front sway bushings.

 

TRD / Progess = 22mm diameter
Hotchkis = 24 mm diameter

 

TRD / Progess = 22mm diameter -SOLID
Hotchkis = 24 mm diameter -HOLLOW
The best deal going now is like 140 shipped for the Progress. Best bang for the buck next to Monroe struts.

 

If the progress was red i wouldve scooped that up

 

The addition of a TRD rear swaybar from Sparks was THE BEST mod made to my xA!

 

love my Progress bar

 

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.

 

I have the Progress, and it's great. Next up is the bushings up front.

 

The front sway is 29mm and the rear one is 24mm

late nights will do that lol

 

My wife gave the green light to buy a rear sway bar..used though,so does anyone have one they want to sell ?Hotchkis,Trd or Progress..help before she changes her mind!!
