how do these two match up? and which one would u go with?

 

Ground-Control. If you can find them anywhere. By far the best i've experianced.

 

i just installed my itr rear bar couple days ago... and so far i'm lovin it... i was discussin with silverb18c1 about the mod and how its not so noticable on regular driving.. but noticable once you throw ur car hard into a turn n drive agressively.

I have no experience with the eibach kit so...

 

so when u hit corners it feels alot stiffer compared to ur old ls sways?

 

oh yes! ... Where the stock set-up feels like its going to lift, the r setup stick like glue... very nice... it finally allows you to exploit the car the way it was meant to be

i feel a lot more planted in the rear.... much less roll in the back.

 

yeah when i hit corners in my ls it feels like its gonna lift up in the back lol

 

I haven't compared to the aftermarket sway bars, but the Type-R bar makes a huge difference on even the stock suspension, especially if you know how to use it. But keep in mind that Honda de-tuned the handling for a reason and you're undoing that. Don't end up with more car than you can handle.

That said, the Type-R sway bars (I have front and rear, front is the same as GS-R) make my LS handle really well on the stock springs and shocks. By far the biggest thing holding it back is the fact that the rear springs are pretty soft, which means that weight transfers to the back easily and I lose front traction when trying to accelerate out of a turn. The Type-R's have the rear spring rate the same as the front to keep that from happening.

It's not uncommon for FWD cars to actually lift a rear tire off of the ground under hard cornering. I would strongly advise you to avoid doing this on the street however. So much as lifting off of the throttle just a little bit can easily send the car into an uncontrollable spin. And the Type-R bar will let you push the car much harder, which means the car will be even more sensitive to thottle lift when you're near the limits.

I have type-r springs sitting on my garage floor.. waiting to go in... my teg is going to be nicer once those are in.. a bit more balanced
