Rep Power: 0 upper strut bar, rear upper strut bar, and rear lower tie bar
Like NoBottleJustThrottle said, Sway Bar are the good way to go...but if u have an EX, u got factory sway bars already...but not as good as the aftermarket ones though

Rep Power: 0 Strut bars will help, but to really set it up right get springs, adjustable struts, and swaybars also. Someone installed the RSX rear sway bar which is 19mm vs. the EX's 12mm and said it made a big difference. It's seems like the 7th gens roll way too much in the rear! A perfect swap out and pretty cheap at around $77 for all the parts. Definitely one of my next mods.

Rep Power: 0 so the rsx sway bar will help? is it, for the most part, a bolt on type mod? also, i know that the rsx sway bar is stiffer, but is it stiff enough to cause hella oversteer in our cars? i'd like to get rid of body roll but i don't want to accidentally do a 360 when i try to avoid a deer or something.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Here's the thread with the info. It's a straight bolt on swap. Just need to replace the bushings and bushing mounts.
