I'm using a Progress 22mm on my sedan '97 EX. Nice to see another sedan owner on here. I've had it for about two years now without a problem. It really helped the back end rotate better through turns. My setup can get a little twitchy at times, but it's nothing major. I'm really happy with how well the Progress has taken away some of the horrible understeer I had. It's pretty cheap, too. I got mine for about $190 out the door.

I'm also using Koni Yellows, lowering springs, Neuspeed front strut bar, Cusco front tie bar, and then soon a Tanabe rear strut bar (awaiting arrival). To me, the chassis braces are more for looks then anything, but I have them anyway. The rear anti-sway bar did more for handling than any of those other mods did ... well, maybe except the Yellows. Those things are badass.

you might want to get stiffer springs,
or a big rear bar could rip out your subframe

It's been two years without incident. So far so good. . . .

i was thinking about the Progress 22mm sway bar. great to hear that another sedan from the same years has positive experience from using it.
