Hi All, I spoke with Progress about the HHR Sway Bars and was told by them that they will now not be available until possibly the end of May or beginning of June.
Apparently they have still not received the bar stock order needed to manufacture them.

I understand that many of you have paid for your Sway Bar Kits in advance, and while this is out of my control, I would be happy to issue refunds if you cannot wait.

This is a great disappointment to me, but in dealing with vendors while getting parts made for a new vehicle – this sort of thing happens at times.
We greatly appreciate your business and hope this won’t be too much of an inconvenience. I will post more when they give me an actual release date.

Best regards,

Mike any updates on delivery of product.. thanks..

Hi Henry, just spoke with them this morning. The bars are being welded right now, they still have to be sent out for powder coating afterwards. I have expressed how important it is to have them before Solvang and they are trying to do their best.

I will have a better picture of what's going to happen when I call him next Tuesday.

**UPDATE** 5/12/06 Progress Tech Rear Sway Bars are now shipping. If you pre-ordered one, it shipped out today.
I called Progress and got the tracking numbers, and have emailed them to those who pre-ordered bars. Progress shipped the pre-orders out direct from their factory today.

I have also posted a complete How-To thread HERE (http://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?p=36757#post36757) for those interested.

Enjoy! :thumb:

Mike I tip my hat to you :bow: ok bow.
I was just reading this thread. I did not order them or anything but must say you are one hell of a bussniess man. Keeping people updated, offering a refund to those who wanted one. Your speedy service when you get the items.
Once again :bow:
Congrads on your business and all the success :one:

I agree. MIke answers the phone, posts like like a mad man and
takes all of the crap that the (self proclaimed) experts give him,
even if they don't have a clue! :bow:

In my opionion, Mike is already succesful! I personally enjoy being
able to pick up the phone and speak directly to the him, without having
to be put on hold, or transfered to someone else. :one: :thumb:

What a refreshing way to conduct business! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
