Stock Rear Sway Bar Size?
Would like to know how many mm it is...anyone?

Thanks i tried looking but couldnt find it sorry! Thinking about getting Progress Rear Sway and if the difference isn't by much I'm gonna forget it, since theres no "tie bar" included anyway, LOL.

I forget how thick the stock sway bar is but i just installed the Progress rear sway recently and the difference is felt the 1st corner you take.

Much less body roll when dipping lanes hard and the rear end just sticks to the ground during cornering its very addictive and you will find yourself taking turns double the speed limit with ease.

The hybrid's rear bar is larger (12mm v 10mm), mainly to help with the added battery weight at the rear at least in the sedan's

in the case of coupes, the sways are different sizes:

Si 28/17
DX 25.4/None
LX/EX/EX-L 25.4/11.0
