Invest in a set of FE5 struts and shocks. I replaced them along with the sportlines and Progessive rear bar on mine. Also dont forget to get an alignment but let the springs settle for a week or so.

I can't understand why people refer to the progessive bar as a sway bar when it is not connected to the body of the car in any way.
The progessive bar stiffens the rear suspension assembly and for hard cornering that may help some but it is impossible for it to control body roll as it is not connected to the body.

It distributes the force to both sides of the rear, making it corner flatter.

it seems that i can feel a little more of the road, ie bumps and rough road. but i love the handling now, so much better. i dont have to lean into the turns anymore!

So it's ok to put the progressive bar without front tie brace?? I'm debating if I should get the Suspension techniques sway bar kit or just the progressive rear sway bar with DC sports strut bar. So far I'm convinced with the Suspension techniques but it still bothers me about installing the front sway bar though..

They told me that I need to lower the "sub frame"? in able to install the front. Some said it's easy if you know what you're doing and it'll be a pain if you don't.
So far how's your progress rear sway and DC sport doing?? Did it make a huge difference??

Me neither I'm not planning to autoX besides, my 2.2 is not made for autoXing anyway but I wanted to have a good handling for my everyday driving. Maybe I'll just do your set up instead.

I have the exact same suspension setup on my 2.4SS. The strut bar didn't really seem to make much of a difference, but the springs and sway bar definitely helped tie it all together and make it a good handling car.

Our cars because of the 60/40 weight distrubution, push in stock form.

I see.. I asked because I read on the "suspension basics 101" on the anti roll section that you need a front sway first before putting rear. And it's best to buy the front and rear sway kit.

And about the car being loose, in short, the car has a tendency to spin if making a fast turns on a wet or snow weather?? Sorry still a bit new in the suspension except springs and shocks.
