I had previously installed H&R springs, Tokiko shocks, and 16" X 7" wheels with Yokos, so my Accord already handled pretty well. After the bar install last evening I took the car out on a winding road and noticed it's more neutral at the limit. That's when you can feel it working; when you really start pushing it. Pretty much as I expected, and I'm pleased with the results. It seems like a good quality piece.

The Progress kit came complete with all hardware; you just have to drill a total of (4) holes in the crossmember to attach the 2 brackets. My only complaint is that the supplied instructions were not very detailed, and included a few grainy photos that were hard to make out at first. But it's not a very complicated job and you'll figure it out. Good luck!
hows the clearance with the exhaust (im assuming stock)? Do you think with an aftermarket exhaust like WS 2 that hangs low it would still work?
