Eibach front and rear sway bars
I am looking at a good deal on a combined package. I know everyone loves rsb, but there isn't much talk of changing the front. I definitely don't want an ex or lx front bar, I think that defeats the purpose of upgrading. My question is...do you have to drop the subframe to install the front or is it as straightforward as the rear install? Also, anyone running this or similar set up on an si?

Changing the front bar usually enhances steering feel but increases understeer. Some vehicles, like Subarus, benefit from a thicker front bar, but Honda already made the Si bar quite stiff already. I would just buy a rear.

The installs are very easy.
Also, the Eibach bars are a bloody ripoff. No one changes the front because it's already massively stiff. Going to a hollow, larger bar won't accomplish much. And the rear bar is less effective than a Progress. Hence, the only people who run them are those that just want their bars to be red. |

the front of the 8th gen is already plenty stiff, people actually downgrade their front swaybars to the lx swaybar to help with their turning.
if your going to to a rear swaybar, do a progress one, if i'm not mistaken it is larger and stiffer than the eibach one. |
