Default Progressive Rear Suspension Link

It was only the matter of time until progressive got thier hands in the cookie jar. Anyone try thier new rear suspension link that has no clearance issues? The price ain't bad either MSRP of $199.00. I have pushed my SG pretty hard and haven't experienced any issues, however, for this price I just might give it a go.

Several reviews on here. Do a search for Progressive Touring Link or search my name Mile High King as I posted a review a while back. Bottom line, it stopped the wobble and is an extremely clean design. You can pay more for other links if you like, but you don't need to.

Bought one through Phat Performance for $169 (shipping included) and installed it a couple of weeks ago. The parts are high quality and well packed. Good instructions. Installation was easy (requires a jack) and the link was set perfectly to bolt on without any adjustments required. 2 hours overall for installation. First few rides I took, seemed like there were more vibes coming through the floorboards during acceleration, but not when cruising at a constant speed. Howerver, on the last few rides haven't noticed any vibes. Not sure why. Big improvement during hard acceleration. The rear of the engine no longer shifts because of the engine torque. Gives the rear end a more solid feel during hard acceleration. Also noticed a more solid feel when riding at 80 mph. Hard to describe because it's a seat-of-the-pants thing, but it's there. Some may feel that the subtle improvements may not provide enough bang-for-the-buck, but I'm happy with it.

Boxer, have you decided which stabilizer you're going to purchase?
