I believe the Hotchkis rear sway is 27mm and this Progress sway is 25mm, however. Hotchkis is a hollow bar compared to Progress which is a solid bar. You get lightness with the Hotchkis bar but you get a much more sturdier bar with Progress. If you read the previous comments, you will find all the info you need.

Assuming it looks like that but yellow and a few decals or badges.
Price is $220 and shipping depends on your location. Probably $20.00 more or less.

The off the shelf Hotchkis bar in the rear is a 27mm hollow rear bar.

The Progress "off the shelf" bar is a 22mm solid bar

The Dan G edition of the Progress bar is a 25mm solid bar

The Dan G bar, because of it's solid nature and 25mm diameter, it will be MORE stiff and MORE aggressive on all settings more than the Hotchkis AND off the shelf Progress even on their hardest settings. This, in conclusion, will offer a more neutral feel to the car AND can even promote some oversteer on some of the harder settings...

I'm guessing Dan runs the stiffest settings? Does he have a problem with the endlinks breaking. I know I have heard a few cases of aftermarket endlinks breaking.

I think this bar is going to come with endlinks made for it.

Ok, so these endlinks should be substantially stronger than the regular ones being sold.

The heims are stronger due to the lack of teflon lining. The endlink assembly uses the same stainless stud. The unit has custom machined spacers to accommodate for all ride heights. So in essence, a small spin off of the current ones that we make and sell specific to this app!

For racing...we typically swap between medium and full-hard (though the bar gets completely disconnected in the rain.) There are zero issues with the links. The whole concept of DG-Spec is to give you guys the same race-proven, bulletproof stuff that we use.

You got it. Look for DG-Spec coilovers and motor mounts to be our next offerings!

Oh man. I got motor mounts already but the coilovers are going to be super hard to resist. If only money wasn't such an issue.
