Default Anyone using Progress sway bars on their EP or RSX?

Anyone have any experience with these? How do you like them? etc...
These bars come 22mm in the rear and 27mm in the front.
They are also solid as oppose to tubular.
Is it really worth the extra bucks from the RSX S / ITR combo?

I have not personally driven the progress combo but, the RSX-S front and DC5-R rear combo can NOT be beat for the money!

the progress rear sway does come with a tie bar like brace that i'm sure helps some. in any case, all i have to compare it mine to is stock and the progress sways are awesome. i also have the eibach sportlines and autoxing is really fun - quite neutral and can bring the rear around when needed.

I have the Progress Rear Sway+Brace, I take the same turn everyday to work at about 55mph and I noticed after installing the sway bar that body roll was noticably less. I think I met you eg nezay at one of the honda-tech canyon run meets. Started out in front of a starbucks, and ended up going up into the canyon, forgot what it was called, Sherman? Shruman? I forget heh.

After the poly bushings are purchased for the OEM sways, arent we looking at not that much of a price difference, Jack?
Considering that we dont pay retail of course on the progress sways.

both bars with OEM bushings will set you back less than $180ish


trust me, keep the front bar as small as possible, 27mm will turn your SI into a understeering pig

Thanks Jack, thats what I was looking for.
I was thinking the same thing, having understeering problems is not fun , but I wasnt sure since I dont have experience with them on an EP.
