I wonder what they were taping on that film when they happened to catch that guy spin out. There's no way that was planned.

thanks

i was also curious.

when all the weight transfer was put onto the right side of that car...... if his car wasnt lower, his probability of flipping the car (tumbling) would of been higher, right??

and also, at the end of the video... when his car ended up on the wrong side of the traffic, his car was going the same direction.

'cause when he hit the cent curb, it look liked he was making a U-turn... and going the other way.... but somehow.. his car faced the same direction on the other side... after he hit the middle curb.

You should have a 25.4mm front bar, unless you took it off.

Sure the chance of rolling would be increaced, but then it is VERY hard to get a car to roll nowadays. you'd have to slide sideways in to someting soft (So the tires would sink in to it) in order to roll one of our cars. even if you went sliding in to a curb, the suspension would scheer off before the car wanted to roll.

as far as what direction the guy was faceing..... He had no contorl over that. he was just spinning at that point.

Well slap me silly. After looking around on honda.com and hondaautomotiveparts.com, it looks like both 2003 AND 2004 DX and HX actually don't have bars. Now that's just being cheap. Man, they must handle like ***. I mean really now, how much could they save by not putting a bar on those two models.

well... it has lots of body roll... I can't really say since I haven't really driven an EX, but when I get the bars in I can tell you how it handles then. Even though I have no bars, I still managed to make firestones go bald after 19,000 miles, even rotated them once. Gonna rotate them one more time to get a little more life out of the tires.

You'll need the RSX bar, bushings, and the brackets that hold it on.

the ex brackets work too so you dont have to get the rsx brackets, altho i might just so that its a cleaner swap, on the upshot, i got my energy bushings and grey's custom endlinks in, so far i am very impressed with the overall handling, the car can exit clover leafs around 60 and barly make noise on stock spec tires
