Sway Bar - ADDCO vs Progress

I am going to add an RSB to my 2000 GXE. The question is, what are the differences between the ADDCO ($129) and Progress ($110) sway bars ?

Bar thickness ?
Bushing quality ?
Overall performance ?
Installation ?

I have a Progress bar and its powdercoated grey and comes with urethane bushings. http://www.custommaxima.com/ProgressRearSwayBar.php The Addco bar is zinc plated? and is essentially the same bar. Installation seems to be identical https://maxima.org/shoptalk/sub_modi...sb/index.shtml
The Stillen bar is the really different one. http://www.greghome.com/Greg's%20Gar...StillenRSB.htm

i'd just go with the progress one cause its cheaper, the stillen one is adjustable, not too sure how much that one runs for though

I have Addco, been great, worry-free, and works. That's all I can speak for.

I think that both bars are pretty much the same thing.

Comparing Sway Bars

I am probably going to order the Addco sway bar, primarily because I live in New England and it is Zinc coated. However, if there is someone who lives the east/central Massachusetts or RI area and has the Progress bar I would be interested in getting together someday and comparing them.

Don't know, but I will let you know. That was why I want to actually compare it, so I can post something intelligent so the next person does not have to go thru the same thing I did.
