Rear Sway Bar

Im looking into getting a rear sway bar. I have been looking around and believe to have narrowed it down to either Addco or Progress. Progress is at Custommaxima.com for $139 + shipping and Addco seems to be a bit more. So, I was wondering what you all were using and where did you purchase for the best deal. I looked in the parts list above, but it really didnt help me out than what I had already figured out on my own. I assume the quality is the same for both. Also, I was thinking that a non-adjustable would suffice, I dont really think that I will be doing much adjusting but I could be wrong. Let me know what you all think. Thanks in advance.

I got the Progress RSB for $128 shipped from Cattman.com on a group deal here on the forums. I noticed an immediate improvement in handling/cornering. I have zero complaints about it.

They all do the same thing so I would get the one that cost the cheapest.

Anyone have any rubbing against the rear axle of the oval part? I just finished installing my knockoff stillen one and it rubs against that thing. It only make the "clunk" sound when I drive over bumps. Its easy to install and made sure the bar points downward to clear the rear axle.

I just put on my Cattman RSB -- VERY easy install. There is a good how-to writeup around here somewhere that I used, just look in the stickies.
