yeah mine hits right at the subframe brace
really? huh, i always thought the progress bar bolted up to the ex/se brackets. the whole reason i went with ST is because it just bolted to the subframe brace, not the ex/se brackets.QUOTE]
yea that looks exactly where mine was hitting. The ST cleared my Greddy Evo2 catback though, just not my RSR catback.
also when you go to put a rear sway bar on, you should have the jackstands under the rear control arms to "preload" the rear suspension and not under the jacking points. Thats what my Progress RSB instructions told me to do anyways.

Originally posted by Losiracer2 View Postyeah mine was hitting right after that axle back portion so i knew it wasn't going to work out at all. For the progress bar though, you have to drill 4 holes into the rear subframe anyways so I don't think it uses the EX/SE brackets at all. Here's a pic of what it looks like mounted up (owequitits car)

Originally posted by sikz6 View PostI was going to ask you but you have an ex, so yours should fit and if it rubs i would be the sway bar not the exhaust.
but it seems like the exhaust is like a 1/2 to 3/4" too far to the right so the pivot bushing brackets & bushings don't line up with the drop down brackets. so i didnt know if the previous owner messed with the position of the exhaust or if other lx owners had the same issue. I mean if i push the exhaust over to make the sway bar fit my exhaust will look like this lol and i don't have a dual tip exhaust lol

Originally posted by Losiracer2 View Postyeah I had that same problem with my ST rear sway bar hitting my new RSR exhaust, so I had to ditch that bar and go with the Progress rear sway. It hugs the car a lot better and clears my RSR by a lot. That's definitely the sway to go with for aftermarket exhausts I found out.
I found mine locally on AZHT for 70 bucks brand new so I lucked out on that one.

Originally posted by Losiracer2 View Posthave you replaced those upper control arms yet? I just did a ton of suspension shit to my car, new UCAs, new lower BJs, new tierods, wheel bearings, rotors, pads. Feels so much tighter than before, its like a brand new car.
