Just a quick question

I found 17MM REAR SWAY-BAR KIT W/BUSHINGS for 80$ and the guy said it will work with both coupe and sedan... The rear sway bar that orignally comes with the sedan is it 10mm and also will 17mm make difference or do i need 22mm??? any suggestion will be helpful... Thank You

it'll make a big difference

I had SI sway bar on my EX and wow it tightened up the rear end

17mm sway bar i believe is stock bar setup.

you can buy brand new SI bar/bushings/bracket at honda for like $70 with tax

22mm is the progress sway bar and they are $150ish shipped from ebay

So you prefer Si sway bar... but will it work with my lx sedan???
and it is $70 with tax... do they install it too or i will have to do it on my own?

Thank You

^ I personally think it would work according to a few posts I've read recently. Don't quote me on it, however.

It will fit fine I have one on my LX sedan. It only takes about 40min to install and can be done in your drive way with basic tools.

well i use to have the Si sway bar in my setup and the cars handling has inproved a lot
then i swap to the progress rear sway bar and the car suffer a lil of understeer (note: i dont change the front sway bar)
but when i put the cusco front strut bar the car take corners like a go-kart

ill def. recomend you the Si sway bar... and if you can... buy the front too
that will make a lot of difference
