I noticed my rear sway bar was cracked a little and rusting, looks like it will break any day now. I was installing my MOOG sway bar links last week when I had my car on the lift and noticed it, so I held off on the back till I get a new rear sway bar. I did some SEARCHing and so far noticed the Progress rear sway bar for the 3rd generation TL is the thickest at 24mm part# 62.0110 and was told it will fit the 2001 CLS A/T. I also am considering comptech which is made for our car part#140-145 and is 22mm and Eibach rear sway bar part#4040.312 which is 23mm.

They say that thicker is better but the progress was not made spacifically for our car so the Eibach or Comptech (even though they are not as thick) may perform better because they were both mad specifically for the CLs.

They are all about the same price so I wanted some feedback from you guys that have one or the other for your thoughts. I also wanna know if anyone has the progress for the 3rd generation TL on their CL and how that is working for them , and if there where any problems during install?

I also hate noise / clunking so if anyone has any of these sway bars and noticed noise from the back let me know!

Thanks again, most of you guys are a GREAT help!

 

i installed the progress 24mm in my tl and then in my cl, went in easy with the moog end links. its also adjustable for your riding style. front hole (end of bar) is for more aggressive driving. on the tl side ppl noticed a big difference with the progress sway bar in

 

Progress is the way to go.

 

get the progress bar. best RSB for our cars.

 

I got the 3g TL Comptech bar on mine. Fits fine. Any 3g TL bar should work. I got it new for a very cheap price otherwise I would have went with Progress.

 

+1 for Progress and it comes w/ polyurethane bushings as opposed to the Comptech which switched to rubber bushings on later sets to cut down on potential noise.

 

I am so pissed u guys had set my heart on the Progress rear sway bar and excelerate is out of stock on it till May. My DLR I work at is closing May 1st so I will not have anyone to do the install for me and I will be out a job. I was gonna order it today but just found out he was not gonna have it till May..I am soo bummed I really wanted to order from him, he gave me fast shipping and great service B4.
I would really wanna give my money to a vendor on this site anyone know anywhere else i can order this RSB?
I REALLY need in in a week or so..

 

Does the Eibach RSB come with polyurithane bushings? Is the Progress alot better then the Eibach RSB?

 

try mrhealtoe. post a wtb thread in the black market. i got mine for $100 picked up, used.

 

WTF? You bought a CL?
Didnt know they were "compatible"

 

ooooooohhhhhhh RAJCA you got a CL and thats why you called yesterday?

 

i bought a cl for the manual trans so i can swap it in my tl, but then i decided to repair the car and make it my track car bc it was worth it in the end. cl had almost no damage on it. i posted pics of it search "new cl-s6 owner"

 

yup. but the auto and manual bulk head covers are diff. so now i have to order one and wait

 

Neuspeed 26mm.

 

sooo where can we pick one of these progress RSB's at?

 

bm or wait till excelerate gets more.

 

I think I'm going to go with the Eibach rear sawy bar, I REALLY cant wait till next month but I DO want to get it from Excelarate.. Does anyone have any feedback on the Eibach RSB part#4040.312 its made for the CL and its only 1mm less then the progress bar!
ANYONE?

 

progress is also adjustable from stiff to soft

 

there was a progress rsb in the bm last week or the week before. search it..

 

I ordered the Eibach Pro system and RSB from Excelerate last weekend. He said both were on back order and it will be another 2 weeks or so.

 

So u r saying the eibach rsb is out of stock on exceletlrates website also?
Please don't tell me that I just settled and was gonna order the eibach rear bar tommorrow! That really sux

 

Yes, that is what he told me last Monday, 2-3 weeks. Might want to just give him a call and find out.

 

That really stinks I think im gonna order the progress bar from heeltoe or someone else then.. I would get the progress or eibach bar from him if he had in stock but i REALLY cant wait 2 weeks or will have no lift to work on of no tools and helpers to hekp me!@

 

I doubt a RSB will be hard to install.

I did it on my protege in 30 minutes with no lift.

 

Did you even check with Excelerate? Like i said, i ordered the RSB as well as the shock/strut system. If you just need the RSB he may have it by now or be able to get it to you relatively quick.

 

I just found a Progress rear sway bar, I had to call like 5 places they where all on back order..Make sure u call b4 ordering cuz all the websites said they had it in stock but when they checked when I called they were all on back order for 2-4 weeks.
I just ordered the 4g RSB part#62.0110 found one for $163 shipped, going out tommorow. I just hope it fits my 2001 CL-S a/t with my MOOD sway bar links with no problem!

 

4g?

 

I mean 3g TL woops, Im guessing the 4g tl progress bar (if there is one) will not fil...LOL...

 

The progress sway bar has 2 diff holes u can screw the sway bar links to, which setting should I use, what hole do most of u guys use?

 

front hole( towards the front of the car) is the stiff setting. thats what i have it on

 

when you get the progress sway bar are you upgrading the links and is upgrading the links from stock necessary?

 

Our stock links suck TarzanCLS had a problem with his, most people just go with Moog parts and don't have problems

 

i got mogg end links on mu tls and mu cls. twice a beefier

 

wheres a good place to get these links?

 

I have Moog links waiting for the progress bar to come it, so im gonna put those on.
I all-ready changed the front SBL to moog, they are pretty cool, you can shoot grease into them anytime! I will be putting Moog sway bar links on with the progress bar, SO the hole closest to the end (the last, second , outside hole) is the hole I should use on the Progress RSB!?!?!?

should I get my alignment done now or wait to put the sway bar on or does it not matter? also should I replace all links or just the 2 rear when im doing all of this?

 

Might as well do all the links, buy all four at once, I would also wait till u have everything on just the way u want it b4 getting a alignment.
Where both going to have the same setup.. how do u like the B@G thus far, comments?

 

I really like it the front has settled a little more hit a huge bump and I heard something come from the front left strut idk what it was though almost like it was the strut compressing but haven't rubbed yet I don't think but overall pretty happy with the setup have only got positive comments on it

 

And the ride is stock , not harsh at all which I LOVE... I cant wait to put the rear sway bar and links on, After that I'm done unless i can find some xs headers!
