ADDCO Anti-Sway Bar

I am looking for the best (non-adjustable) sway bar. Once it get installed I won't be adjusting anything. Who has the best price?

Has any one changed to polyurethane bushing the factory front sway bar

The ADDCO and Progress bars are very much the same. I have the ADDCO and have been pleased with it.

I have a Progress RSB, and I'm pleased with it. I believe that they're both about the same price, and I'm pretty sure that the performance gains will be the same.

I had the Progrss bar on for a very short time. I found it to be a bish to install and ended up taking it off and replacing it with the Stillen RSB. ADDCO bar will be the same as the Progress bar. Check out Southwestautoworks.com or Cattman.com for prices.

I had the Addco and switched to the Progress. Same bar, but the hardward on the Progress is designed better.

Yeah it looks just like the Stillen bar. Maybe it's a knockoff?

It is, but just as good. IIRC it was created by an .org member, and the design was sold to the co. that now sells it...

Any idea if it's hollow or solid? I've always wondered that.

It's solid. Really good quality, I've had it on my car for over a year and it holds well, no rust or noises.

Are you absolutely sure the knockoff is a solid type? The Stillen OEM is a hallow bar. And different diam than the ADDCO, Progress ones.
