Eibach vs. Progress? Which Sway Bar Setup is better?
I have been trying to figure out what would be a better buy. Price aint an issue since I can get either brand for about the same price. I already have Tein Basics, DC Strut Bar and Tie Bar, SPC Camber kit, and Grey's Endlinks on the way. So now its time to reduce some more body roll.
Here are the Specs:
Eibach Anti-Roll Kit
Front Sway Bar: 26mm
Rear Sway Bar: 16mm
Progress Sway Bars:
Front Sway Bar: 27mm
Rear Sway Bar: 22mm
Im not racing or anything this is my Daily Driver but I love to take corners at high speeds. Which one is better for me?

Im pretty good behind the wheel so I can keep control of the car if I get a little understeer/oversteer.

Well I took care of the endlink problem (since I already have one broken end link), I just want better control of the car, so Im hoping Zzyzx will reply soon.

Well then you allready have a 25.4mm front bar, so the Eibach 26mm isnt really that much of a change, tied in with a 16mm (Vs your stock 13mm..) You'd be better off just gettign the RSX's 19mm or even the 05+ 20mm. for the progress bars... personally I'm not a fan of upsizing the front bar on a FWD car, causes a few performance issues for racing, but with a street car you'll probably never notice them. If I had to choose, I would probably go with the Progress setup, but like I said.. I'm not a fan of upsizing the front bar. Maybe go with the Eibach 26mm front and the Progress 22mm rear?

Rep Power: 356 ^^That May be your best bet. Though runnign the stock 25.4mm with the progress 22mm would't be bad either.
