Hey folks,

I ordered progress sway bars over the weekend because the specs look good. Solid sways that are 3 way adjustable front and rear.

Does anybody have these on their z? Progress is a pretty big and reputable company so i'm sure the sways are great but i'd like to get some feedback from another z owner.

Thanks

How are these working out for you?

 

Actually I installed them today. I had a few problems with the rear because my greddy dual exhaust kept hitting the progress sway bar so I have to bend it a bit at my local muffler shop.

I also had problems with the front, maybe the sways are different on the 06's but the bushings that progress supplies didnt fit. So, I used the OEM bushings. Here are the pics.

 

From what I hear, it's easier to first remove the exhaust and then install the rear sway bar.

Do you know what the progress bushings are made of? OEM are rubber right?

 

Well removing the exhaust is a pain in the *** with the greddy because its dual and its got so many pieces. Even with the sway bar in place the exhaust doesnt fit right. The progress bushings are urethane and OEM is rubber. I used the progress bushings in the rear and stock ones in the front to make it fit.

 

How does it feel afterwards?

 

Sucks that they didn't fit right from the mfgr. I had one on my Max, and it was great.

 

It feels okay but i'm afraid to take hard turns because my exhaust isnt on the rubber hanger.

 

As many different pieces as it comes in looks like you could remove the back part of the exhaust to put the sway bar on the back then the the exhaust , but I havent seen many people with the progressive sways so maybe you are riight. I would be worried to corner to hard too.I dont like anything to touch it could easily put a bend in your exhaust, good luck
