Progress sway bar or H&R sway bar?
I am thinking to get a rear sway bar for me 04 TSX. Should I spend $20 more for the H&R sway bar or just go with progress sway bar? Have anyone had the H&R sway bar? How is it?

I personally havent hear of any one having the H&R RSB.. people usually pick between the comptech or progress one...

Progress. The H&R is always on back order and I don't think anyone has been able to even get it.

I am about to put up a Groupbuy on the Progress RSB too.

^^ unless the larger diameter bar is hollow inside. Because then it might not be as stiff as a smaller one thats not hollow.

A hollow sway bar can be stiffer and lightweight, so that isn't always the case either.

I think they're the same diameter no? I think a while back I heard H&R had a 24mm RSB, but all I found was 22mm. I ended up going for a Progress RSB. I LOVE IT! It's super easy to put on too. Don't forget your teflon tape

I'm going to do it. Progress won't have the bars ready to ship until mid Feb though so I don't want to start the GB too early.

yeah stay away from the comptech or other sway bars other than progress IF you have or are going to install a catback.. i had installed a comptech bar and had problems with the exhaust (aftermarket) hitting the sway bar.

only comptech catback is compatible with comptech sway bar. i switched out comptech rsb with progress after the tanabe catback install.
