Sway bars for ex coupe

[Jay Kincannon]

I have installed Si front and rear sway bars on my 06 ex coupe thinking it was the proper mod to do after installing the 17" HFP rims, 225/45-17 Bridgestones, and HFP sport suspension. After reading many posts on sway bars, I'm wondering if this was the right thing to do. Should I get the Progress rear sway bar or any other combination. If this mod will improve my handling, please take the time to explain why. Thanks !!!

What size is the EX front bar? I would get the LX front bar rather than the SI one. THis is due to roll copuple distribution and the fact that the stiffer end breaks loose first.

So you would leave the rear Si sway bar on and replace the front Si sway bar with the LX rear sway bar.

or put on the progress rear sway and lx front sway for even more rotation. Of course, the progress rear sway could break the mounting brackets but thats a whole different story.

I think I'll stick with the Si rear sway bar for know as my car is still under warranty. Does any one know if the LX front sway bar is smaller than the EX front sway bar. I still have my EX front sway bar.

check honda.com - should be under vehicle specifications.

just swap out the front Si bar with the LX front sway like stated.. should help out a little more with handling.

LX/EX have 25.4mm

Si has 28mm solid.
I guess keep the Si RSB and install the stock EX FSB?

Yes... I just got back from my Honda dealer and thought I would pass the information along. Thanks for the heads up on the LX/EX front sway bar, or as Honda calls it the stabilizer spring. As you stated, the parts man confirmed there are the same. Now I hope I can find my old one in my friends garage. Also, while I was there, I purchased an cool HFP hat. Thanks for the input guys.
