Default Best rear sway bar and simple handling mods?

I thought I remember reading somewhere replacing the stock rear sway bar with a thicker unit makes the new Si's handle extremely better and is very noticeable. Wondering what would be the best after market unit to replace it with? I haven't had much luck finding too many aftermarket sway bars for the 06+ chassis so this is why I ask.

Looking to track the car before the end of the year with the HFP sport suspension on it and want to add the simplest and most affective mods to help it handle the best way it can with just the HFP suspension and some sticky tires. Thanks

most people go with progress, a get a newer production model should come with brackets, but the fd2 cusco one the best one due to bigger mm size.

In my point of view mix is right,Because people trust on progress,And fd2 cusco is real best,Because the size of mm is very big.So i am totally agree with mix...

Says on their site they almost never have any Cusco products in stock and will have to order from overseas. I emailed them though.

AJ Racing told me 6-8 weeks

Hi,


We have a new bar for the FN2 that will be released and in stock in about 6 weeks you can see the way we built the bar here http://forum.fn2r.com.au/viewtopic.p...1&p=4993#p4993 .the brackets have been designed better they were just a proto type and we offer front and rear.

Our rear will offer 4 hole adjustment and has short arms so it is rated higher thamost that are even larger diameter as they have the longer arms they flex more .

You will slo see links we will have on offer that are adjustable ball to ball style not the old mushy bush style that do not last

Do you have plans on releasing bars for the FG/FA/FD chassis? The FN2 has a different rear suspension setup than the rest of the 06-10 civics.
