Default Progress Sway and Tie Bar installed w/pics

I just got my new Progress sway and Tie bar upgrade today. I ordered from http://www.corsportusa.com/yesterday and with free shipping I was amazed to see it arrive the very next day! Needless to say I had to install it right away.

The instruction from Progress were very good and clearly showed what needed to be done including pictures. I acomplished the task in alittle over 1.5hours because I had some issues getting the endlinks loose from the stock sway bar, luckily my 05 Civic is new enough that the lower control arm bolts came out very easy.

Here is a picture of what the stick sway bar looks like after it was removed. It is about half as thick as the new Progress sway bar:

Here is what the new Progress sway & tie bar combo looks like installed, I was very impressed ho much beefier this is than stock:

Sorry I had not gotten to really test it out last night until I drove it into work this morning. I have a nice 75mile commute back and forth to work so I put it through the paces this morning. I can really tell a difference in the rear end versus the front now! I have not gotten my front strut bars in yet as they were back ordered at DC. So when taking on and off ramps now I can really feel how much tighter the rear end of the car is compared to the front. I am impressed just how well my new Civic handles period butonce I get the front and rear upper strut bar installed I think I am in for a real treat! This is my first car that was not born in Detroit and I admit I am quickly falling in love with this car!
