Which is the best rear sway bar Progress or Stillen?

 

Price wise, Progress. Overall, Progress.
The Progress one is adjustable, you move hte U brackets closer together to make it less stiff.

 

Stillen doesnt use rubber bushings for the mounts, and its adjustable. AND its stillen...

The progress and Addco RSB have the rubber bushings, and dont last as long. AND they arent adjustable like the stillen one is.

GET STILLEN

 

Progress is adjustable and it uses Urathane bushings

 

I Luv my Addco!

 

I paid $100 for my stillen and $3 for new bolts, (used off course) but does the same job I vote ofr stillen, but I don't think it matters much, since I will never touch my sawy bar agin... untiul I sell it.

 

stillen is great for everyone who is obssed with brand names or has too much money, i could see buying from stillen simply beacuse they are producing parts for us that others have copied for cheaper.

im neither like brand names nor do i have too much money.

i have a progress, its been on for 6months and made a huge difference in handling.

this is the same debate between y pipes, do i buy an expensive warpspeed or cheap budget. i does kind of suck to tell people you buy car parts from a company called BUDGET.

they are both the same thing buy what YOU like and dont ever look back

 

they are all the same just diffrent name. ( I got the steal'n one though )

 

Progress bar is the way to go. Great quality and great price. Stillen bar is nice but the price you pay for the adjustibilty is not worth it IMHO.

 

Umm, I will say it one last time. The progress bar is adjustable. All you do use move the U-brackets closer together to make it less stiff.

 

I guess i was wrong then

But i HAVE heard that the urethane bushings dont last. You will have to replace them sooner or later...

The stillen one doesnt have bushings..

 

i heard stillen gave out problems to the brake lines?

 

Well, my Progress has only been on for about a year but I don't see any signs of wear.

 

I voted for Progress because it's half the price and performs 99% as well. The Progress is less "elegant" in design, but since it's under the car, it's easy to forget about it.

I am pleased with the addition of the anti-sway bar. Handling is improved and the ride is essentially unaffected. Makes me wonder why they didn't come with one from the factory, especially the SE.

 

If urethane bushings don't last, then what does Stillen use?

 

You see my sig. It says FSTB, RSB. I didn't list the brand names because for these items its irrelevant. Stillen is more easily adjustable but that doesn't really matter anyway. Your still never gonna adjust it anyway. I drive on the street on the street on the same RSB and strut settings as I do on the track.

 

define BEST for us

 

this "poll" is about 3years old and has been debated a million times!
just do what you can afford.

The Stillen uses no bushings at all.

Question, does the Stillen sit right under the rear axle like the Progress does? One minor issue with the Progress bar is that when using a garage jack to raise the back end of the car, it's only possible to "grab" the trailing edge of the axle with the jack.

 

The stillen sits very close to covering the axle but leaves a small lip of it. I pesonaly used two jacks on eighter side to lift the car up and do the mod.

this might help. its a 2000 mines is a 2k2 its prob diff than on the pics.

theres a guy on ebay selling a generic stillen sway bar, i bought it for 135 and it works great, very strong, save the $100

The stillen bar can be moved anywhere on the trailing arms meaning you can position it before or after the axle. This is what they mean by adjustable. so you can use the rear axle as a jacking point if you have it positioned that way. It also sits close to the axle giving a tad bit more of ground clearance. the progress sits directly under the beam, hangs down a tad more, and is adjustable in its own way. Just move the 4 mounting points around to tune it.

I have a Progress RSB.

 

I have a Progress. It has been on for a year and I love it.

 

progress ownz me. I have it on my I30 boat and it made a huge difference, especially after lowering the car. right now im running eibach prokit, kyb agx's, progress RSB and paradox FSTB.

 

one word... stillen..

 

wow...im hijacking and reviving this old post...

how do i adjust over and understeer on a sway bar?

 

anybody check into cattman? justa suggestion...

-Tyler

 

cattmans rsb is progress rsb

 

You need to tell us what type of RSB you have first.

 

addco
10char

 

A stiffer rear swaybar will produce more oversteer, a "softer" one will produce more understeer. I don't know exactly how to adjust them though.

 

I was told that you could slightly adjust the Progress RSB by moving the bushings on the trailing arms towards the front of the car.

 

ahh...okay...i have like an inch left...what about the inner brackets?

 

performance over style I always say

 

I have the Progress RSB....love it. Had it on now for over three years.
