Progress Technology
Antisway bars
The Progress Group developed new front and rear antiroll bars for the '02-'06 WRX and STI. Both antiroll bars are 22mm solid steel bars. The front bar has two holes of adjustability while the rear has three positions. The bars are designed for use with the OEM endlinks. The kits include all hardware needed, like new drop-down brackets, low-deflection polyurethane bushings, new bushing brackets, and synthetic grease. This new antiroll bar system will improve steering response and minimize body roll while cornering. All Progress antiroll bars are manufactured in-house and feature cold-formed bars and precision MIG-welded ends.

GF210 Lowering Spring
'04-'07 WRX/STI And '08 And Newer WRX/STI
For the highest and most reliable performance from a performance spring, the GF210 is an excellent solution for cornering enthusiasts. The stance of GF210-equipped vehicles is aggressive and is but one indicator of the engineering and weight-balance tuning that goes into these springs. The spring rate is raised an amazing 30-40 percent over stock, but with careful consideration in keeping within specs of the valving of most stock and aftermarket shock absorbers for maximum suspension longevity.
MSRP: '04 $260
'05-'07 $280
'08 and newer $310
