Progress Rear Sway Bar or Comptech Rear Sway Bar

I'm going to buy today. It's either going to be either of the two and I'm leaning toward the Progress RSB since it already has poly bushings.


For those of you who bought the Progress RSB, which item # is it?


Will this work?

Here's the info on Progress's site

Anti-Roll Bar (Rear) 22mm-adj.
[2003-2004 Acura TSX]



I didn't know there was a 03 model of the TSX (whackos)...

I like my new/used comptech

That RSB looks like it will work.

if you don't mind spending a couple extra bucks, get the progress. The adjustable ends, poly bushings, and no knocking sounds (at least for me so far) put it above the comptech. Comptech is good, but get the progress if you spare the extra cash.

I have the Progress to replace the Comptech. It works better with my Tanabe exhaust by providing more clearance around the pipe area.

I've had both, they work the same way, can't really feel a difference between the bushings. Can't go wrong w/ either.

I just picked it up...After worked I'm going to install it...I have a question...I just looked at it..

Which is the stiffest setting? the one closest to the bar or further away?


I would think that it would be closer but wanted to make sure.

Yes, the hole closest to the bar is the stiffer setting. Has anyone tried the hole closest to the end?

KICK ASS MOD!

Feels like a whole new car! It's feels "stickier"!

As far as oversteer, I don't see it. I've been doing turns and twisties around the streets here in Charlotte with ease. No more lean/rolls, it's great!

I should have gotten this before my tint!


For those of you who don't have this, you don't know what you're missing...

Thanks Joe for the insight and taking off the tire cut everyting by about 75%. I say me and my buddy got the thing installed in about 15 mins. It actually took more time jacking it up and taking off the tires and bolts. So total was about an hour.

No squeaks or knocking either. Fits great! Ride magnificent!
