UPDATE for SMOKE: I pulled the bill and it states: "Suspension Techniques" for the sway bar.

Yes...but I still wanted to check the bill to see if it was on there (to be sure).

Progress Sway Bar

Installed the Progress sway bar tonight and test drove about 30 or so combined city/highway miles. It really does feel more buttoned down all around. Lane changes, on ramps and even straight line cruising feels more connected to the road. A very worthy investment and highly recommended.

I am having trouble finding a Suspension Techniques bar online. Plus, they are listed as only a 19mm rear bar, where-as the Progress Tech from "never enough" is 22mm.

I also noticed there is a difference in the length of the S.T.'s bar vs the P.T.'s bar......the S.T. bar extends further forward, and seems to have a more duable mounting method.

I think I'll go with a P.T. rear bar...it's thicker, and is easier to find.

any other pro's/con's anyone cares to offer for either bar?

Its probably going to be a couple of months atleast before you can get your hands on one but TTR is about to come out with. Its a 1 inch bar, and they have a pre production group buy going on on a cobalt forum with i think about 80 people on it, as far as i can tell there is going to be more than 50 that are going to buy. Thats going to be atleast the first run that is completely sold out already (and i am one of them). If i remember it was actually designed on the HHR, so shoot them a PM and find out.

Sway bar install in 14 hours and 10 minutes.

14 hours to paint the bar red to match the car (sorry Progress, your powder coat was beautiful and well done but it just clashed with the Victory Red car) and let the paint dry and 10 minutes to install by myself. Fit was perfect and install easy. For those without a lift, use ramps. Put the sway bar center on a cardboard box to raise it and position under the beam. Raise ends, start one bolt on one side (don't forget the washer) install bolts on other side, install last bolt and then tighten to specified torque. Now for a drive.................
