front and rear sway bar

http://www.robearracing.com/pd_st_swaybar_kit.cfm

whats your opinions on this sway bars? For that price it has front and rear wich doesn't seem too bad.

http://www.robearracing.com/pd_neuspeed.cfm

I always love the neuspeed stuff but it's way mor expensive .... and I would think its better
to get front and rear. Any help is appreciated.

The ST ones are alright. The front is solid i beleive, but the same size as stock. Neuspeed sucks because it is too expensive and you can get the same thing from progress for half the price.

the 01 LX didnt have a rear anti-roll bar, you'll have to get an adapter kit.

as far as wich one is the best..... well How do you want the car to handle?

Grey Sells one I believe, and as far as handling, I mean what are you setting this up for. Autocross? Road courses? Street? Each would use different setups...

So true. Only thing Progress doesn't have is the upper bars :sniff: I use the progress lower bars with a Neuspeed on the upper front.

Get Progress.

if you want to road race i say do this. Get the progress rear anti-sway bar (22mm) with their adaptor kit (www.ptuning.com). Get a set of Grey's endlinks . You have a 1" (25.4mm) front sway bar. Now you can either leave that which will help with body roll but still not get rid of the understeer. You can downgrade the front to an 03 front sway (16mm) and that should give you a good setup. I would try just the stock 25.4mm and the rear 22mm sways to see how you like it. you might also consider getting some poly bushings if you are going to be racing.

^The Progress adaptor kit includes endlinks and he must have meant 27mm front Progress bar, not rear. If you want to get rid of understeer, first get the Progress rear 22mm sway/tie combo (~165)plus the adaptor kit (~100). That's going to make a huge difference, but if it still isn't as a$$ happy as you'd like, get the 03' 15.9mm front sway bar.

the adapter kit is for the people that dont have an ex i thought , and the endlinks that grey is selling are better then stock and wont break or wear as much over time

The progress bar comes with BRACKETS not ENDLINKS. Those you have to get seperately. I meant to say the rear 22mm bar. my bad. Edited post above for clarification But i agree with getting the 16mm front sway bar from an 03+.

what parts are you talking about? The front sway bar won't fit. The rear sway (19mm) from an rsx will fit. I have one. the progress one is better, but 3 times the price. Plus it comes with a tie bar. I suggest not putting their springs and shocks on your car though.
