Default I got an idea.....i'm making "Progress"....lolz

So thru a friend who owns a Fit, I did some searching and found that
Progress made a rear sway bar for the 07-08 Fit and it was 22mm

Then for some reason, in 09-10 the Fit only got a 19mm RSB from them.

either way I'm calling Progress tomorrow to see if they are planning to make
something for the cr-z. if not, i'm going to fabricate one for myself.

i worked in a machine shop and i already know it will be fairly easy.

Heres a pic of the progress 22mm RSB

this is a cool idea. I dont know if i would want to make one of these though. There is a lot of R&D that goes into parts like this as well as tempering and hardening that goes into the steel used to make these parts. You want to maintain a certain amount of rigidity while still having flex.

If we have easy bolt on locations for sway bars though i dont see why we shouldnt see more of these on the market.

if you call progress see if they will make a front sway bar too! I'm seriously considering the Cusco front and rear bars.

See my major gripe with cusco is that their sways are half as thick and twice the price.....they are batsh*t crazy in my opinion.
