Does anyone know where/if you can buy just a front sway bar? I have a progress rear and want a front one, but i can only find them in front and rear sets.

I took a look on rksport and they dont have them and ebay doesnt either for the meantime at least. Is hotchkis the only company that makes a front bar?

I have a Hotchkis bar, never installed. Bought it new, never put it on, now it's kind of useless with air bags. If you want it IM me and we can figure it out. I shipped a Progress RBS to someone here, don't recall the shipping though. Let me know. I can post pics, but like I said, it's a brand new red Hotchkis bar with all the install stuff that came with it.

Won't be as tight anyways and I wouldn't think the bat would help much, not + on it though. I'll see if I can find some pics, otherwise I'll take some.Here's a pic of it with my old Megan STB I got rid of a long time ago and G2 kit I still haven't used and this pic was from 2005_05_30!

I was just asking because i asked the mechanic at the place where i have my service work done about how a CAI would affect my warranty and he said that any modifiactions under the hood would void the powertrain waranty. So i thought to myself, install the CAI and put the stock induction system back on if i need service work done.

I read the manual well the Warranty handbook, and it says the warranty is void if the modification can be linked to the problem/issue. so if its a cai installed and the tranny blows, there shouldnt be a issue.
