Go with the smaller one.Otherwise you may get a big surprise if you need to make a quick manuever when carrying a load in the car.

Turbo Tech (supporting vendor) seels a good one. I have installed a red one on mine. Very glad I did. Check them out.

Not knocking the one from TT, but I'm more than happy w/ the one from Progress Tech. I don't think that you would notice any difference between the two for everyday driving.

I have a Progressive and I think the only difference is circumference of the bar.

All I know is I LIKE IT and glad I have it!
Can't go wrong with any sway bar.

I noticed a little bit of over steer after i put mine on... but i figured it had to do with the crap firestones that come stock on the car. does anyone have some good ZR rated tires on with the sway bar? do you still have a loose caboose?
