Progress RSB

Has anyone upgraded their RSB on a 3G type S MT? If so, is there a big difference between the stock 22mm and the 24mm progress?

I'm just curious because if there really isn't much difference, then there really isn't much of a need... however, 17mm on the auto I'd imagine a huge difference.

Thanks!

i think u just want to spend the money on something ... but honestly i wouldnt bother with it. u already have a stiffer suspension anyways compared to a base TL so the difference i belive wouldnt be even noticeable.

I am pretty certain the TL-S RSB is 20mm, not 22mm. The difference from a 20mm bar to a 24mm is pretty significant and the Progress bar is also adjustable.

Type S is 20mm same as the 04-06 6MT. I changed out the stock bar on my '06 6MT with the progress bar and it made a big difference. Much flatter cornering and just plain feels more solid.

There is a big difference between the stock 20mm and the 24mm. I might set mine back down to 22mm. I'm not sure about swapping ends in the snow.

Make sure you put your Progress RSB on the stiff setting; much more noticable!

Just swapped out my RSB for the Progress RSB 24mm. WOW! The whole rear of the car flattened out. Made me smile again when I take corners!
