I run the Progress techs with the AP endlinks. Made the drive across the US from Seattle to Detroit and it brought tears to my eyes on how much of a difference it made. Not really tears, but more of that excitement feeling taking corners at 2x the posted limit.

I run progress. They are solid, so they stiffen up the car through the corners very well. Plus they're adjustable.

I run the ProgressTech as well, very solid sways.
If your car is not lowered a lot you can even use the stock endlinks for a while, especially if you keep the bars in the softest position.

I have the RB and they work really well, such a difference from stock to when I first put them on. I'm running them even after I got ohlins coilovers and they still work just fine with only the upgraded RB front endlinks

I would go with the hotchkis over the progress techs just for the fact they come with zerk fittings to grease them.

You really won't be disappointed...I've had mine for a couple years now and they really are amazing. I hear a lot of good things about Progress though. The Hotchkis match up well with my JIC's though!

i have the progress technology bars as well. About $300 for both front and rear. They are excellent and adjustable. PT makes suspension components for LOTS of different sports/race cars, they know their stuff.

The best sway bars? Those that fit into the rear port of your floorstanding speakers, so that you can pop the drivers out, of course!

Hi!!! A questions for those of you who have the Evo-R end links: Do you have to enlarge any of the mounting holes for a Racing Beat sway bar?

Thanks
