So a while back I bought the progress RSB, but it didn't fit, so I traded it with david and got his Eibach RSB (23 mm vs 24). I've been driving like that for months, and finally today I swapped out the stock endlinks for the Moogs, and honestly it really does make a big difference. Far reduced body roll, and very snappy response when I turn the wheel. Anyone wondering if it really matters let me put it to rest- YES IT DOES.

Just wanted to make sure that's well known. :)

Because he didn't know how to move the exhaust hanger probably.

The only thing endlinks do is suspend the bar, and keep tension on it. As long as they are intact it doesn't matter what they are - OEM or Moog. It's the bar that matters. Glad you chose the right combo though and you are happy with it. Thank you once again for being an advocate for this fabulous mod.

I think it's just because of the way that my WSII exhaust runs under the car. I would have had to lower my exhaust several inches for it to clear.

The thing is, the progress RSB bends down and hangs under the car, while the OEM one and the eibach bend up and follow your chassis' shape. The progress bar fits 99% of people's cars, so I wouldn't worry about getting it, but I had my mechanic and several other people look at it, and no matter what it wouldn't fit with my exhaust, and I definitely don't want to hang it any lower, it already scrapes all the time.


And I completely respect what you guys say about the endlinks not helping, however I'm still a little speculative on this. If you have a 23mm swaybar, that connects to the oem vs the moog:

Honestly you think that the oem endlink isn't going to bend and tweak more than the moogs on turns? I can't see how that's possible. You might be right though, the placebo effect works all the time on cars. How many times have you guys felt your car be "faster" after a car wash rofl!

Also the OEM endlinks were completely destroyed inside of the... joint? where the stud connects to the endlink with no grease left, and the moogs have a nice new internal with grease filling it, hopefully that's better for my car in general.
