im sure a lot of people are going to say the progress sway bar. i would agree.... and i will get that bar when i get my xa

 

get those heating pads...

do you know the torque specs for the front top coilovers.... thanks

did you notice anything better about the front strut...mine is slammed...

 

agree ^^^^

progress rear sway bar.
by far, the number one mod for better handling is the rear sway bar.

 

I just installed the Progress rear sway bar last weekend in my xB and it made a difference. I would say the body roll decreased by 50 to 75%. It only took me 15 minutes to install, and if you have the right tools, you don't even have to take the wheels off to install it (even though it may be easier) I used a socket wrench and a pair of pliers. It does however wiegh a good 10 to 20 lbs, but the handling improvement is worth it in my book.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

fuji tested fuji approved. i have on my xb..awesome.

 

Progress it is, ordered mine this morning. Yes the front strut bar makes a difference. I would think more so if it's slammed. I'm on 215/45/17's and sitting flush and it handles like a whole nother car!

let us know how the install was and how much you enjoy it!

 

install is 4 bolts.
do not need to take the tires off.

jack up the back of the car if you like to have room to work in.
line up the sway bar under the rear axle beam.
put in the four bolts.
tighten.
put car back on the ground (if you jacked it up)
20 min install if you take your time.

might want an extra set of hands to hold up one side of the bar while you work on the other side.

 

what about the whiteline sway bar?

 

i don't care for it...
the method of attaching it looks like a backyard scrap install.
