I'll see what I can dig up from the third voter.

No, no offense. That's why I want to hear from these other two mystery people.

More than likely, they are just messing around.

I have a question. For the people that it happens to, what springs are you running? My Supra would have this problem with the rear S/T sway bar if you had it in the stiff setting. Would rip the tab right off, it is pretty lame. But if you had stiffer springs, so less body roll, it wasn't really an issue. I guess I'll wait till I get the TEIN Flexs in my EX, hoping they will fit in the Sedan, before I go with an upgraded sway.

^ I guess that would be me, since there doesn't seem to be any mystery people...
I'm on the Eibach Prokit. Stiffer than stock, but not by a whole lot. I would like to upgrade to a coilover setup, but for now I think my weld job should hold.......... I hope

Well, one of the mystery voters is an 8thCivic sponsor. I'm waiting for him to post up the details here. Maybe he's busy. He basically said that he ran with a 21mm sway bar and didn't have any problems, but had the problem with the 22mm Progress bar. He installed this on an EX. I really don't want to put any more words in his mouth, so I'll leave it at that. It's also an anonymous poll, so I don't want to disclose outright who this person is, but you may be able to deduce who it is.

Like I told another member in a PM, I'm not confirming any guesses. But yeah, I told too much already.

So one of the mystery voters who happens to be a sponsor clarified with me through PM that he miss-clicked on the vote. He never actually ran with a Progress. He's running a 21 mm bar with no problems on the EX with stock end-links, and so far, no problems. I'll go in and change the vote.

That's what we're trying to find out. Right now there's me and one other person that voted "yes", but we don't know who that other person is. At this point, there isn't enough information. BE's 21mm bar is just out, so not sure what's going to happen with theirs.
