Hey, I'm tossed up with what sway bars I should run on my type-S. Should I just get a JDM rear sway bar, or the Progress front and rear kit, or the hotchkis street kit, or the neuspeed?

 

Hotchkies is awsome in my SRT..I'd say go with them, cause their products are
always ussualy good.

 

Progress has some very well handling RSXs. You can't go wrong with Progress.

 

DC-5 understeers to much and you just need a rear sway. I think JDM is a worthy upgrade for it's price but sure bigger is better for the DC5.

 

I agree, any rear rotation you can get is a definite plus. Progess has very well developed parts and so does hotchkis. While it is probably milder than the aftermarket bars, the ITR rear sway is a great low cost solution to getting more rear end rotation.

 

ive been thinking about getting the comptech rear tie/swaybar(non-ajustable) combo for my ep. wondering if anyone else has it and what they thought about it.

 

progress

 

Get Progress.

 

JDM DC5 rear sway

 

mugen 25mm rear swaybar.

 

unless it's a track car, the 22mm JDM bar is all your RSX really needs. really balances the car well; one of the best mods you can get for under $100

 

progress 22mm PLUS a reinforcement plate

edit: if you haven't seen, robear and hondawerx both are selling them for around $140 shipped

 

SRT-4? wha?

dan. this is a honda website...get out
next thing u know marc will be here 2...

 

im happy with my hotchkis front and rear sway setup - but i have to say if i was doing it over from scratch i would probably go with a jdm rear bar and leave the front stock - best bang for the buck going!!

 

progress.

 

I have heard that the type R rear helps out alot. I plan on getting one soon.

 

look down!

i'll be getting the comptech rear sway for my EP3, but w/o the tie bar. it's 22 mm, like the CTR rear sway and about the same price, so i'd figure i'd give it a shot since i'm a comptech *****.

but back on topic, progress's rear sway for the EP3 hits the exhaust, even the OEM exhaust piping. is this an issue w/ the DC5?

 

Get the mugen sways or spoon sways

no ity's not an issue as long as everything is lined up correctly.

 

What is the down side of going with 25mm fr and 25mm r on an ep3 just for street use?

25 mm is pretty stiff for a rear sway on the EP3. from what i've read, 22 mm is stiff enough.

but to answer your question, a stiffer rear sway will reduce body roll and help your car rotate around easier (i.e. reduce understeer). the downside is your rear tires will break away easier if your tires aren't sticky enough. so if you're taking turns on the street too fast, you could lose control as your rear slides out.

 

i got progress front and rear sways from another member
and progress rear tie bar

hopefully this weekend they will be installed
and i will give you some input

till than they are just laying on my floor
