Progress RSB (04-08 TL) on CL-S

I had my friend help me install the Progress adjustable RSB this afternoon. Install was pretty straightforward and took about thirty mins, only thing that was somewhat tricky was removing where the endlinks connected to the RSB. We set it on the sport setting.

Took it for a drive and the steering was more responsive and the handling felt a little more secure, can't wait to test it out when I get new/better tires.



Progress 24 mm adjustable RSB (04-08 TL) vs OEM.

The Progress has a sport and soft setting, came with all new hardware and a small tube of grease. There hasn't been any squeeking so far.

This will basically help reduce body roll. The bar is a 24mm adjustable rear sway bar. The setting closest to the front of the car is the softer setting. Basically it will help reduce understeer or plowing (common on FWD cars).

It comes with new bushings and brackets for the sway bar, although it retains the factory endlinks.

i upgraded to the energy suspension bushings and had a hell of a time getting the oem bolts in. then again, i sold my PROGRESS bushings/bolts (which are longer than oem) so i bet i would've saved a lot of time if i used the new bolts.

I agree. I am going to try to upgrade to the moog endlinks sometime in the future, the factory ones seemed decently worn. Any idea if that would make much of a difference?

i replaced all of my endlinks and balljoints with moog... it just had a slightly tighter steering response.

but i've read NAPA actually has better construction stuff than moog. check it out.

I thought Napa sold Moog stuff? I didn't realize there was a difference.

That is pretty interesting, I'll have to look into the Napa endlinks.
