Default What sway bars to use on RSX?

Looking to get the sway bars set-up for my 05' RSX, but conflicted on what brand to go with. I've been looking at Tanabe and Eibach, but I want to see if any one is running them on their RSX's right now and what their opinon is.

05s have 21mm which is very good for dd. I have the ITR 22mm and the mugen 25 which was very stiff.

I have the Progress Front. As for the rear i have had 3. Stock sucks...so immediatly i got the Progress 22 mm Rear sway. Its really nice and it comes with the tie bar for a minimal price. Good find. Now I have the Cusco 25 mm rear. I wanted something more and this bar is excellent. NO body Roll at all.

Let me know any other questions

How much of a difference do you feel in your turns, being that you went from a 22mm to a 25mm Rear Sway? (of course I'm sure the Cusco is better than Progress, but besides that)

there is not as pronounced a difference as their was going from the stock to the 22mm.

however the car is much much more solid and the 25 mm bar inspires more confidence (for me) in the twisties.

the jdm 22 is nice...but for a little more with the progress you get a tie bar too

for your 05...the progress 24mm adjustable is nice

You got input...Mugen, Hotchkis, Progress, Cusco, etc.

The guys who upgraded to the JDM 22mm rear were 02-04 guys that had 19mm stock rear bars. You already have a 21mm rear bar stock.
