Noted, my first target for an '08 EX Sedan. Or maybe I'll go with the Progress Rear Sway Bar.

I have no popping at all and I did my rear sway bar on a lift everything is working fine and I drove my car pretty spiritedly on the way home today

I just found this. My EX Coupe's body sways much more than I like. I will probably do this mod soon, but I'm wondering. How is the balance of the car with both Si bars? I don't want to just add the rear bar, though I know this will loosen up the rear and allow me to rotate through corners better. I want to reduce overall body roll.

Still, I'm wondering if the Si front bar is the way to go, and some other stiffer aftermarket rear bar in combo?

What rear bar do the Si crowd upgrade to? or do they?

[Midwinter]

they do.

progressive rear sway bar 22mm.

If you upgrade both bars to the Si bars, you'll just end up enhancing your understeer.

Si owners usually upgrade to the Progress Sway Bars.

You can either do stock front and Si rear or Si front and Progress rear.

Having read the posts under this thread, I have tried stock bars on my 2008 LX sedan, front and rear Si bars, and stock front bar and Si rear bar. The posts that say using the Si front and rear bars add understeer are RIGHT. The stock front and Si rear is better balanced. The Si front bar has a sharper turn-in than stock front bar, but there is understeer as the weight shifts in the turn. I am taking the advice offered to stick with stock fronts and Si rears then add shocks. Konis have always worked for me.
