My car came with a, what is believed to be, a Suspension Technique Front Sway Bar. Now the down fall with this is, well its not adjustable which is one of the main reason one would want to upgrade their Sways. Now I am looking at getting Progress Sway Bars, please no discussion my decision that is not what the topic is about & I would not like this to get off topic like most threads...

What I would like to know is if there was anyone out there knows what the original, Grey, Front Suspension Technique Sway bars used to go for in terms of priceing. I am looking to sell my front, swap in a stock for a bit and then upgrade to the Progress.

Thanks.

I have the grey F+R set (which is thicker than the green). Got it from Summit Racing for a bit more than $240 shipped. They sell the front for around $135 shipped.

Awesome, thank you for the info!! These are about 27.8mm if I am not mistaken. Thick as hell! I would keep it if it was adjustable.

I did a lot of research on sway bars and you've made a right decision. Whitelines are adjustable, but their end links suck. If you get aftermarket end links, price goes way up. Progess bars are adjustable, have decent end links and price is good too. Where are you getting them from? I'm looking for a set too.

I figured on Progress when I read the long azz review page on sways in this section and then went and did some more research and came up with Progress. I found a website after searching that had them for a good price, but I can't seem to find it now. I did come across AutoSportStyle or whatever and they have them listed at $171.00 each...

Front:http://autosportstyle.com/shop....html

Rear:http://autosportstyle.com/shop....html

I am going to keep looking and try and find that other site...

I originally had planned to go with Whiteline and then I read that the end links sucked, so I said ok I will just get SPL End Links, and then said F it after reading up on the Progess.

Haha, yea you played a huge part in my decision with your info: Hollow: Stiffer by +/- 5%, 50% the weight, great ground clearance unlike the Whitelines, good endlinks, unlike the Whitelines, same 3 way adjustability F&R...

FOUND THE WEBSITE:

Front:http://sportcompactonly.com/Ni...1.htm

Rear:http://sportcompactonly.com/Ni...1.htm

Package: Makes no sense the package is more expensive then buying both seperately: $463.97 vs. $412.50 seperately??http://sportcompactonly.com/Ni...1.htm

Thanks for the heads up. I had these planned for my tax return, and well I have procrastinated on that, still haven't filed them but need too soon because I was planning on getting some meshies and well a set has come up so I need to get on the ball.

I preach alot as well, but yea would be a nice thing to add to my suspension set... Also seeing I have only a front & is non adjustable lol. So time to get some big boy toys.
