    on the lx the brake lines to where to mount the L bracket is in the way. there are either 3 options to choose from. cut the rear brake line bracket so you can move it up or down since the bracket is attached to 2 studs that are on the rear trailing arm therefore you can't move the lines unless you get SS lines or cut the bracket to compensate. #2 some say you can get ex/se trailing arms and it will bolt right on and no hard lines will get in the way of the install but i dunno since I do not have a ex/se. #3 you can buy a longer bolt for the rear sway bar to compensate for the clearance issue what you would do is turn the L bracket upside down and buy another spacer for it. thats what I did since I didn't want to cut anything yet since im lazy lol. I will post pics of what I did on a later note. I'll post up pics of bolts that came with the sway bar and what i bought.
    either kill it or drift it...

        Well, I guess that explains this: "Some modification of the brake line mounting tab may be required (mine did not, so it may be a rear drum thing)."

              My Progress bar just got here yesterday and I'm working on installing it already. I just did a rear disc swap but I kept my LX trailing arms. So I ended up using my saw zaw to cut the piece off that the brake line mounts to. Now I'm gonna dremel the edges so they're smooth/even bc I'm particular about little things like that haha. I'll let everyone know how it goes and post a pic once the install is complete.

                        Thanks so much for this DIY. It came in very handy last night while I installed mine. I had this thread open on my iphone throughout the whole installation process.
                        I don't want to be critical, but I noticed one thing that I may be misunderstanding.

                        12) To assemble and secure each bar bracket assmebly:
                        D) lift the backing plate into place, with the spacers for the rear hole. Place the pivot bushing bracket over the rear and middle hole in the backing plate, place 1 5/16" flat washer on all three bolts. Place 1 5/16 nylon locking nut on each bolt, and then tighten.
                        I think that is supposed to read "front" and middle holes...It makes sense when you do the installation tho.

                        Thanks again for the work and effort to put this together!

                            Great write up. Very useful while installing my Progress rear sway-bar today.

                              Lol, I just installed mine too! Just got back from running some windy roads and it's amazing! I don't under steer on throttle anymore! (Unless of course I force it). Great write up too!

                                Nice.

                                It really is amazing how the bar damn near eliminates understeer. High-speed corner stability is incredible as well. Everything just feels tighter and more responsive. You can really feel it doing its job. This sway bar kicks ass!
