Progress or Comptech?

If deciding between a rsb, i found a Progress one and a Comptech one, relatively same price(comptech is 8 dollars more, shipped). So which one would you go for?

both are 22mm so thickness is not an issue. the progress one comes with eurethane bushings, the comptech with rubber. the progress is 3way stiffness adjustable, comptech has a fixed end mounting point. and also the problem with comptech is that it has a tendancy to hit aftermarket exhausts other then the comptech one that is

so I would have to say that the arrow is leaning to the progress one.

I still went with comptech

both great options, just pick one and be happy.

if you're ever thinking about getting an exhaust make sure you get the sway bar that would fit with that exhaust. i bought my comptech sway bar first and then picked up a greddy exhaust and i'm having rubbing issues. only the stock or progress bar would work on my car now.

Are there any issues with noise or "squeaking" when you are comparing comptech and progress bushings? Do the greaseable mount help or not needed on one or the other type of bushing?

Neuspeed is 19mm, so a bit smaller than the other 2 brands. Still noticeably thicker/stiffer than stock, and they come with poly u bushings.

I don't think I've seen anyone compare Neuspeed directly with another brand. I just want to get most of the benefit without going too extreme.

How's Evo2 in driving daily city roads
How is it driving on highway? too much vibration and sound compared to OEM? or not?

Progress and Comptech are both 22mm RSB's but Progress is adjustable and works with all aftermarket exhaust systems whereas Comptech only worked with Comptech and OEM exhaust systems.
