You're pretty much paying for bushings/endlinks assuming they are the same thickness. I would look up threads concerning asr vs. progress bushings and end links longevity.

I never had any personal experience with either of those, but I haven't heard/read anything bad about them either.

Okay, lets start with this. No matter which sway bar you get, you need to get some kind of sub-frame reinforcement. Grab an ASR brace in the color that you like, its one of the best out there.

Next, you have to realize that the way the sway bars mount is different. The ASR 24mm bar bolts on like any other rear sway bar, to the lca. The Progress mounts differently. It has special endlinks that mount onto the bolt that the lca connects to the shock. This is much more effective because the two end-points are further apart.

If is was me, I'd go ASR reinforcement with the 24mm progress bar.

Agree, the bushings and endlinks are better from ASR. I have their endlinks on my rear swaybar and they're nice. But, even with the same thickness, the torsion in the bars could be different. Not sure how these would differ though...

Yeah you'll want a subframe brace. The Progress kit should come with one already IIRC. It's just like ASR and Beaks kit, they're all the same minus the bling bling flashy tie bar. Not sure if this is the rear swaybar from Progress that mounts to the shocks, I'm not a fan of it but I'm sure the difference is minimal.

If you have the money, go with the ASR. If you don't, the Progress kit is still a very good option..
