Alright so theres a MEET on SUNDAY the 28th.
At 10:00am
We are going to meet up at AMC theater off of the I45 and Beltway.
at 11:30 or 12 we are leaving and meeting up with High Performance Drive.
Then from There, we are cruising down to Galveston.

I bet you guys have heard of HPD's Galveston Cruise.
Their cruise happens to land on the same day we were planning ours.
So we will be meeting up with them and joining them.

Any one here with the Progress RSB? Will I feel any noticeable differences in the handling?

I'm thinking about getting one to stiffen it back up again. I miss my braces

improvement in everyday driving.
switching lanes felt more solid.

I went from the stock 6MT bar which is 20mm to the progressive which is 24mm on the stiffest setting.


the biggest improvement is every day driving...the car doesnt feel as wallow-y....if that makes sense..
the rear end is stiff and on hard corners you can lift off over steer...which means, lift off on the accel pedal in the middle of the corner and your tail end will come around, just like a RWD car

I guess I know what I'm getting with my next paycheck lol and then save up for wheels once again

What about the adjustable endlinks? Would I benefit from them for a daily driver? I think I'm gonna them anyways in case I might need them further down the road.

endlinks dont really provide any performance increase.

the popular option of Moog endlinks provide an easier way to get them off.
if your end links are rusty and you cant get them off, you'll need to cut them off.
if you dont want it to seize again, the moog endlinks are an option for you.
I'm still using OEM
