Looking to get the ST sway bars front and rear but would like to know to whoever has this installed in there Accord if there are any fitment issues regarding brackets and holes.

I did read the Progress installed in the FAQ but I do not have any means of fabricating my own brackets and maybe the ST's are just a snap fit without any issues.

And the Search button is being fix by H-T

Thanks

 

Haven't had any problems so far....

 

my body shop didnt have to fab anything. it was a direct bolt in and out

 

I know. I've installed four (4) sets without problems. You just can't skip lubricating the bushings during the installation.

Just remember you're going to need a gasket for the front Exhaust pipe. You'll need to drop the exhaust to gain access to the front bar

Gasket? Why do I have to remove that part too?

 

Well.... If you can remove and reinstall the front sway bar without dropping the exhaust out of the way, you've a magic touch.
Get under the car and look for yourself

I did on my car. 6th gen though...

 

He is right i had to drop the exhaust when i put mine in. i tried for 30 min to get it out with dropping it and it didnt work on my 5th gen

 

How does ride feel now?

 

If you're doing the front only you're going to have more understeer, it'll appear to be easier in control in the corners due to it's unwillingness to spin the back around.

Rear one has the opposite affect.

Both I'm up in the air about since the ratio to my knowledge is the same as the stock but they're thicker. So it'll be flatter but handle the same?

 

The ideal for a daily driver which sees occasional enthusiastic 'bursts' of road racing is for a bias towards understeer. It's the more stable platform.
For someone serious about blasting thru the twisties, you'd look for either a neutral or slight oversteer setup.
As TheMuffinMan pointed out, most Swaybar kits look to maintain the stock (or near stock) understeer with the intent to reduce body roll moments and improve suspension dynamics.
You can modify the under / oversteer characteristics by modifying the mounting point of the rear bars' link set (on the bar). Shortening the effectiive length will increase oversteer (makes the bar stiffer)

I'm a-spying a uncanny resemblance to the Burger King.
Any family ties?



"I'm sorry, I'm too young to die!"

 

Haha

If I was related to the King I probably wouldn't be in an Accord
