Default Great news from Progress Auto!!!

Just spoke to Michelle at Progress Auto. I asked about details on the rear sway bar.
She said the CR-Z sway is definetly in development right now because they worked with Bisi on the sema car.
She asked the guy who is working on it and he said they have not decided if it will be 19mm or 22mm.
Either one of those sizes is fine by me! And we should see it in about 2 months or so...

She also said she is aware of cusco's insane prices for skinny sways bars....lolz...

Isn't the rear sway bar just a "brace"? Since its torsion beam in the back, will it actually make a difference?

Yeah, ask about the front bar since a rear bar will take me out of HS.

I asked about what they had planned after the RSB. She said after that they are going to concentrate on drop springs. But that's all she said.....
