so bringing this back from the dead. As of last week the only remaining issue was
wind noise from the driver's side window. I haven't had time take the car back into
the shop....but the other day I was looking to install an upgraded swaybar and found
some more damage to the sub frame. I have to fight with the insurance co to get this
resolved....fun fun fun for me. #@$%%$#!

what really annoys me is the fact this was totally missed the first time around
and had I not considered upgrading the sway bar I would be none the wiser....

i wonder what else was missed?

i only got the rear sway, don't need the front unless I autox which I don't.

I got the progress sway bar (24mm) vs the oem (19mm).
The RB sway is cheaper but also 27mm which is a bit bit for me.
Other options were the fusion sway (21mm) or the MS sway (22.5mm)

it's a bit different yes, but if I had left the oem one on, it would clunk all the time...

Congrats on the new uninstalled sway, I almost went with the Progress over the RB. And, well, that sucks about your ride not being fixed like it should've been.
