32mm Sway Bar? Is that honestly necessary. If you have that much understeer from auto crossing all the time, then by all means get it. I would look into getting a front/rear combo. I cannot speak on personal experience for the sway bar. I am sure it is amazing compared to the stock set up. Let us know if you do go through with it. I would like to hear reviews on it.

I really think it's not necessary. I think the Hotchkis competition sway set (I have it) Is good enough. Of course you'll get body roll, but bigger sway bars does not mean better necessarily

Yeah im asking because i got a really good deal on one for 400 brand new. I wonder why they don't just sell the subframe by it self. I might buy it cause my car is going to be a show,track car.

toyomatt84 is running it on his 2001 Civic Coupe. It's so big that it won't even clear our stock exhaust. I know the Hotchkis endlinks can handle it.

Honestly I'm sure it works great with a proportionally large front swaybar, but I wouldn't want to be running it with anything less than 25mm up front.

I plan on upgrading to it next year, hopefully.

32mm is a bit overkill on a front drive car that only has about 1750 lbs on the front tires. lol you may be better off balancing the suspension with a stiffer spring rate and a Progress 27mm front sway bar.

put it this way......Spoon's factory race DC5 ITR only has 27mm front. and so does Top Secrets time attack rsx, 27mm front. Real Time Racings rsx is also a 27mm front. and they all do great at the track.

even with 27mm front sways, you have to take into effect their rear spring rates. i know the JUN DC5 runs 14k fronts and 22k rears

spoon is using 18k front and 22k rear
top speed is using 18.5k front and 22k rear
real time racing is using 18k front and 20 / 21 rear (depending on track)

so yes, its true to go stiffer in the rear ( hahaha didnt mean to sound so dirty lol )
