Just wondering if they make a significant difference?

Lets say 27mm up front and 22mm in the rear.

Any input would be greaty appreciated.

Thanks,
Freddy

 

hell ya, sway bars make a big difference. I was super impressed with my suspension techniques kit.

 

Sways are great. Though be careful with big rear sway bars. They can make the car a little tail happy.

Just something to keep in mind.

 

i use 26 front, 22 rear.

sways are great when you've done nice stiff linear springs and good shocks. next step after is sways. sways really give the car a great level attitude through a turn, and allow you to dial in how much over or understeer you want.

I had a 22 mm rear and nothing in the front, and putting the front one on made one hell of a difference in the car's cornering and weight transfer.

 

if going for an oversize bar, you might as well get a reinforcement piece for the sub-frame as well. i know someone whose EK9 22mm bar tore through his 99 hatch's subframe..lol

 

Hell ya it does... i never had got them before.. but when i swapped in Tein SS Coilovers and Upper Lower Swaybars.. DAMN.... i mean ****!!! i can whip around a corner like that lol...

 

there is no such thing as upper and lower swaybars. you are talking about strut tower bars and lower tie bars.

 

They do make a difference.

 

Forget "oh they work if you have mad expensive suspension blah blah"

It WILL make a difference on stock suspension also.

 

Tego, the Progress rear sway bar is a very popular upgrade on the new Civic's like mine. I would imagine a similar bar on an RSX would yield similar results.

I'm sure you could also replace your bar with a Type-S (if it's bigger) or a DC5R bar.

I have a DC5R rear sway bar on my 7th gen. Should I upgrade the front? (Is there even front sway bar upgrade for my car?!?! lol)

 

Sways are definately on my list of upgrades..

 

ive heard many say the rear sway is there fav mod....


and where can i find a type S rear sway for my 02 civic?

 

I believe type s and premium models sshare the same rear sway bar...I may be getting rid of mine soon.

 

I got a generic $45 strut bar in the front form pmall, I believe it made a good enough difference to get my moneys worth, I did a test on the on ramp to the highway, I could max out without like not feeling like my car was gonna roll at like 55 kmh, and after i added it i could go about 60 or so, which is alot faster when going at a slick turn like that.

 

strut bar, tie bar, sway bar are three different things (we are talking about sway's here)

and yeah... sway makes a huge difference; that is my first installation upgrade on my lude in spring.
