Progress RSB

                        

I installed my Progress Rear Anti-Roll bar today. It was straightforward to install with the proper tools.

I jacked up the car from the rear centre jack point and set the car down on jack stands so that the wheels were off the ground. I left the wheels on even though the directions instructed me to remove them. The Swift Sport springs are short enough that I could just pull them out without unbolting the lower shock mount point. I suspect this would be the case for any other lowering spring with at least the same drop. Removal of the spring is required to easily drop the bolts in and tighten them with a 6mm hex wrench & 17mm socket.  Blue Loctite and torqued to 40 ft/lb as per instructions.

I drove the car only briefly to settle the suspension and to see how it felt. I was only able to hit one circular onramp and the improvement was quite noticeable. Definitely felt more planted, less roll and more neutral. I’m pretty sure more seat time will only re-affirm this.
