Default sway bar swap

hey guys i have an 06 si and i am getting the HFP suspension setup and i was thinking about getting the eibach front and rear sway bars. my question is since the si already has good handling with factory suspension is it worth changing out the sway bars to aftermarket. if it actually makes a difference. if so ill def be getting the sway bars but if not much difference on the si then its not really worth the $300 bucks.

Your kind of have a circular logic here. You're going to modify your suspension, yet "the si already has good handling with factory suspension." Why upgrade if it suffices? [Just curious because is you're going for looks, this kit doesn't drop very much.]

To stay on topic, other members here have nothing but positive feedback from almost any suspension mod (whether it be coilovers, drop springs, HFP kit, etc.) combo'd with a rear sway. I'm also looking to get this kit, rear sway, and good tires.

In short I say go with the rear sway bar coupled with the HFP and you'll be set imo. Good luck.

also another thing. what would be better to get. the eibach rear sway bar or the progress rear sway bar. the progress is 22mm and the eibach is 19mm wouldnt the thicker bar be better?
