The Legends are true....RSB
I successfully installed my Progress RSB!! I guess it IS true that this minor mod does make a big difference.
You read a lot of things on the internet and sometimes you have to question if it is a good idea or a bad idea…I took the gamble and grabbed this bar from one of the group deals and I must say, it is really effective. Even my wife notices the difference!
Now I have a question for the people using the RSB now. Does the car feel like it is ‘back heavy’ now (meaning the steering feels lighter)?? Or is it all in my head? Are the two ends of the bar exactly ¾ inch from the bushing? Mines seem a little uneven even though there is no room for adjustment.

I moved my bushings towards the rear of the car, behind the parking brake bracket. It was a ***** to get on tight, but it's a little bit more flat now as well.

I torqued mine and used locktite. It fell off 500 miles later going down 435. It got rashed and is now rusting, but still works. This time I used red locktite and locknuts - shouldn't come off again.

I'm local so I know you must be a fast mover! Sounds like I'll be using some locknuts when mine shows up.
