abrupt oversteer? um.... i doubt that.

The rear sway will create less understeer and the front will create more understeer.

I just don't see how this is possible with the stock set up unless you are a left foot braker and ride the brakes at all times. This would kind of be like trail braking going into a corner, that could cause the oversteer. Are you sure you have your terms right? Oversteer = the back end sliding. Understeer = front end sliding.

Great Thread! Information was accurate, followed parts to order and installed it last weekend (Front and Rear). Thanks! Now, I got to do something about stock tires. It's just too soft for my taste....

Nice page there! You've added a lot since I last looked at it! I wish I hadn't just paid my college tuition!


And you have the Civic stress relievers!!! Oh those are so awesome. I want one, lol.

No, the sways are interchangeable from sedan to coupe, front and rear. I had the Si Coupe front and rear on my EX Sedan.

Progress or Si rear bar only

Recently got my 2008 EX-L. This will be the first performance mod. Progress rear bar or Si rear bar? Just planning to do the rear bar. Opinions, thanks.

I just installed the Front, in addition to the rear bar.
Handles safer, more solid, alot tighter.
Before with just the Rear SI bar, it handled a bit better, but was very loose and steering wasnt presice.

I think If you got HFP suspension, then just the Rear bar and stock front
would be good
