Hey guys... I have searched, but can't seem to find the answer. Which set of adjustable sway bars are better? The Progress swaybars or the Whitline swaybars? I won't be going to the track, I will just be using them for the street. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I have the front and rear set of whiteline sways w/ the adjustable endlinks. For sure a great product and really eliminated the body roll. I have not messed around with the adjustable links much as I'm still working out kinks in my coil over suspension.

The links are a heavy duty design as well. IMO a great buy and well worth the money.

 

i also have the whitelines. they are nice but stiffer would be better and at slower speeds the dsc kicks on pretty easily. I think i will try the progress just because.

 

the progress tech sways are supposed to completely eliminate body roll. i want them, but i guess they are on back order

 

I've been on RB's and moved to PT...

The PT's make me very happy...

Dunno about Whitelines...but if I remember the PT's are stiffer...

Also the Agency Power sways are rebranded PT's...

 

Haven't you learned anything yet?

The one's you buy and install are always absolutely 100% the best that ever are, were, or will be.

Otherwise, try the search button.

 

fixed...

 

Does anyone know if Progress Tech and/or Whiteline ship the rear swaybar with two different bushing size options like RB does? Appearantly Mazda changed the bushing size sometime in 2006 (to a shorter one I believe) and they (RB) just ship both sizes and you just disguard the extra unuseable set. Not a big deal, cheap part that could be picked up on my own anyway, but would like to know if Progress (especially since this is the one I would like to get) and/or Whiteline were aware?

Could being supplied with the wrong size bushing (if that's the case) account for some of the problems after install that have been posted lately?

 

back when I ordered it a couple months ago, it came with only one set of bushings for front and rear each. I have an 05 so there were no problem for me.

 

I don't believe there was a rear swaybar bushing change on the RX-8, bad info IMO

 

Ngo: which did you order?

 

IMO, Racing Beat wouldn't offer one type of bushings for an 04-05 RX8 and different bushings for an 06-07 RX8 if there wasn't some difference. I thought I read somewhere that the size is what changed. If I'm wrong, I apologize. But I would certianly want to verify the reason(s) for the two diferent bushings before ordering from any company.

 

well...what do you know. you do learn something new everyday.

 

Bump. I am thinking of buying the Progress swaybars soon, but I was wondering how comfortable they are for a daily driver?

 

I just installed the Hotchkis front and rear last night. Front on full hard and rear on full soft. Definitely tighter, but I have only driven a few miles for test drive last night.
