I got it installed the other day and after having spent some time driving with it I have to say this is one of my favorite mods so far. It makes the TSX feel so much sportier when going around corners and really completes the handling upgrade package along with lowering springs (eibach prokit) and aftermarket shocks (koni yellows). My car has a little over 25K on it now for mileage and I enjoy it more and more.

Nice...man. So why did you get the Progress rear Sway bar instread of the comptech?

How much is that one?

jiggaman

cuz progress comes with poly bushings, and i just felt like it basically. its adjustable but i have no plans of changing it from the stiffest setting its on now.

Tsx536

Thatz cool man...How much was the Progress?

jiggaman

150 i believe, my gf bought it for me for x-mas.

xizor

the stiffest setting is great.

I wanna see what the progress sway looks like

xizor

I posted mine a while ago

jiggaman

thanks xizor

I'm still curious...I have the Comptech bar, but I want poly bushings...can this be had feasibly?

Tsx536

Hmm....looks good!

Which Sway bar is better Progress or Comptech?
Is the adjustability of the Progess worth the extra money Xizor & Jigga?

jiggaman

dunno man. never been in a car with the comptech. probably cant go wrong with either one. the stock rear sway bar is so flimsy looking its pathetic. its not wonder that i noticed such a difference.

xizor

i've had both, and i can't say that either is better, they're both excellent

Tsx536

Thanks for the info guys...I think I'm gonna get the Comptech one since it's a little cheaper...I'll probably use some money I get for Christmas!!

My comptech rear sway bushings are starting to squeak on me. I'm going to have to double check it when it's not as cold.

xizor

Rubber bushings shouldn't squeak should they?

xizor

shouldn't be a problem, you should just need a 22mm poly bushing. I don't know if the brackets are the universal size, but many energy suspension makes some?

kurt_bradley

Find me some poly bushings for mine while you're at it.

I got some Prothane poly bushings (with lube) for $12.83 shipped from here: http://www.philsinc.com/prothane/swaybarbushings.html

I ordered the 23mm (#19-1122) and they fit perfectly. Had them on for about 6 months, no squeaking or noise of any kind. Can't really compare them to the bushings that came with the comptech sway bar b/c I put on the poly ones at the same time as the sway bar.

kangjin, did the poly bushings come with brackets or just use the stock brackets?

kurt_bradley

I think I'd just use them with my Comptech brackets.

Just curious, why did you order 23mm bushings for a 22mm bar?

kurt_bradley

Follow up: I called them to place an order and they wanted $15/set PLUS $5 shipping (UPS ground to Texas). I told them about this thread and they still wouldn't negotiate. I told him nevermind.

kangjin

When I ordered them, people were still debating whether the bar was actually 22mm or 23mm in diameter. They fit fine for me, 1mm's not that big a deal.

They came with some pretty beefy brackets.

Sorry they wouldn't negotiate. I'm sure you can find Prothane stuff at other places, though.

kurt_bradley

Not having any luck. That's all I've been doing today.

JeffTSX

Hmm...you're right. Nevermind.
