Default RSX-S sway bars

Hi! I'm searching for a sway bar for a good friend of mine, and I'm trying to get as much input as possible. Popular rear sway bars seem to be the ITR, Comptech, Hotchkis, and Progress.

The ITR sway bar seems a little too mild for my friends' taste. I've been leaning towards a Comptech non-adjustable rear sway bar (with no tie bar).

Any input is appreciated!

PS: I've already searched Club RSX, I'm just asking those of you who are on HondaTech! TIA!

The DC5-R bar is the best for the money.

all those rear sway bars are around 22mm so why not get the cheapest one which would be the DC5 bar 100 shipped cant beat that

Cusco is what I have and I highly recommend...its a 25mm bar. Thats about as big as you will EVER need. Hotchkis makes a 27mm....but its expensive as hell. Make sure you get endlinks with the 25 mm sway....

02-04 RSX-S rear sway = 19mm

05+ RSX-S rear sway = 21mm

02+ DC5R rear sway = 22mm

If you have a 05+ RSX it's not really worth the $100 upgrade.

That car *needs* a lot of bar in the back if you care to make it rotate. I'd recommend at least a 24mm solid or greater.

But if you just want it for street cruising, what's wrong with the oem rear bar?
