Progress Group 22mm rear sway bar

I just stumbled across this and thought I'd pass it along incase anyone was interested....I don't need one, just put my Alta 22mm on last month...but maybe someone else can save some $$ if these are worthwhile... I've never heard of this bar mentioned on NAM, but Summit Racing has it on sale for $78.50

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=TPG%2D62%2D0210&N=700 +4294898099+4294898098+4294806411+115&autoview=sku

No financial interested, just trying to pass along what looked to be a good buy.

I hope thats a stock image on Summit's site since we know the MINI's sway doesn't look like that.

I'm interested but skeptical....It's a great price but is it a good product?
If someone can convince me that this is a great product I'll drop the $$$ Otherwise, I'll wait and save for a good one.
Thanks for your info.

Ordered it today. Oh, Progress is a reputable company. What's the difference between Progress and Alta? I think Progress was making suspension Components longer (not knocking Alta as I will be purchasing their pulleys and oil catch can). I have had friends with Progress items.....trouble free !!! I'll let you all know.

What I want to know/see is, what do the welds look like? Or is it forged? Is it adjustable? I can't think of any more questions, but i'm sure that there are more somewhere in the back of my brain.

i know its adjustable, and it should not have any welds as its one piece.
i have heard its almost the same as the other 22mm bars and it is solid of course

Hey, Summit Racing is right down the road. Has anyone tried this bar? Summit Racing sells pretty good stuff , mainly for muscle, drag, hot rod, etc. I'm tempted to drive over to try to look at the actual bar if possible.
