hey on the EK hatchback there are no rear sway bar. IF i install a rear 22mm sway bar and leave no front for w while, will i get so much oversteer that i will slide and hit walls? For example going 70mph on a freeway ramp thats turning?

Any of u have personal experience with this?

Lol no. not even close. your rear will definately feel more solid depending on your suspension, but i wouldn't worry.

I would recommand adding a front.

Rear bar alone makes the car feel much more predictable.
Word of advice, use the OEM swaybar endlinks or at least something beside the Blox ones like these: http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...t_16230_01.jpg
I had a pair and the rods started to pull out of the joints on each end and they screwed up the plastic bushings in my Type R swaybar. I had them on for maybe 6k miles at that point. The kind with two heim joints would probably be better if you were to insist on aftermarket

If you get the Type R swaybar, or any bar in that 22mm area, get an ASR brace or look at their bar/brace kit and endlink bushings. ASpec Racing is the only place that makes anything like that, otherwise I'd recommend someone else because it took 2 weeks to get my freaking bushings.

oh ok thanks guys. But a rear alone without ANY front sway will get oversteering correct? So its not that bad like i think it will be>

how can u tell if its a real type R sway bar btw? i mean there are no honda stamp or part # on the bar itself. what if some cheap company imitate it?

It's not bad at all. It is a good upgrade, and if you're concerned, just take it easy and see how it handles.

A swaybar is a swaybar, as far as I'm concerned. When I was looking, the ITR bar was cheaper than a comparable one made by Blox, Tanabe, etc. I bought a used one with bushings and endlinks on it and I think it was around $100-120, but there's a new one for like $140 shipped on eBay right now.

y dont u have a front one? dont all hondas have one? and if u use a big rear sway, over 20mm u need a subframe reinforcement; well at least on 5g...
