LOFL! You are such a woman! The rear sway bar is a 10 min job that involves loosening and tightening a few bolts.You will need to rent a spring compressor for the springs but its certainly not rocket science.

EDIT: I'll spare you the flaming Bill.

If you have no experience with a spring compressor, this is a hard install. That should cover, oh, most everybody.

Of course, Bill knows all. Sorry for insulting your mechanical skills. Oh wait, thats right, I didn't.

Even a caveman could install springs using my DIY.

The first time I ever installed springs on a car I had never worked with a spring compressor. Its pretty freeking self explanatory. If you can get the strut assembly off the car the spring compressor part is cake.

the rear suspension does not need a spring compressor to be dismantled...

the front yes but not the rear...

and the sway bar realy only takes 10 min to instal....

I say go with TRD. Doesn't look like Progress is ever going to release the sway.

FlintS is probably the original test car they used to prototype this. Makes sense since he's local to them.

The bar development is done, they are just backed up in production. Last I spoke with them they said it wouldn't be for 8 more weeks.

FlintS · 04-08-2007, 06:54 PM

This is true... My car was with them to build the bar and springs.... They got backed up with the supplier of their metal to build the bars sooner... It will be well worth the wait though. The springs I have not heard anything new in a while....

jamal1984 · 04-11-2007, 03:58 PM

i ran into somewebsite the other day and here is what i found

Toyota 2006+ Yaris - Progress Technology Rear Sway Bar 22mm 62.2140 >> Progress Technology Rear Anti-sway bar

IS IT The one?

newedgeperf · 04-13-2007, 11:48 AM

Progress is still backed up in production, I have the Yaris bars on order, but it is going to be a while before they are available. Progress has had some success with some of their new applications and they are working hard to keep up with demand...a good problem to have!

This does not surprise me as Progress makes great suspension products.
