sway bars - rear only!

sway bars - rear only!
so, i'm a huge fan of sway bars... i put a rear one on my 2.5rs impreza and it turned if from a understeering fwd type beast, into a completely neutral, 4 wheel drift machine. now i know that the xB will never be a 4 wheel drift machine, but why put a front sway bar on? i just don't get it. i don't want more understeer.... i want less. now because hotchkiss is the only manufacture of sway bars right now, we have only had the option of putting on front AND rear. but i honestly couldn't understand putting on ANOTHER rear, and then a front to counter act the rear. doesn't make sense to me.
not to mention the added weight of adding both front and rear (and not just replacing the OEM rear). (almost forgot to mention the added install cost of the front; the rear can be done easily diy)
so i've been waiting for someone to come out with a rear only, and it seems someone is:

anyone know about "Progress Technology"? they make good stuff?
anyone care to comment on the rear vs. the front&rear sway bar? my ideal would be an adjustable rear like the whiteline one i had on my suby...

i really don't want to add 2 bars, paying ~$300 installation, when i can replace 1 for free with the same (and even maybe better) affect on handling.

The thing about the Progress rear bar is its 19 mm...that means its to replace the factory one....and the factory rear is welded on....this could be alot of work cutting the stock off.....UNLESS a big unless here the Progress is alot made to be added on like the hotchkis rear is

This one might be more generic discussion about the merits of front sway.
