honestly you don't really need a front sway bar.
The stock on is pretty beefy.

Peep this to see all the stock sway bar sizes: http://www.geocities.com/bellz252/ar...ybarspecs.html

ook since you have a 02 I would forget about the Progress bars and just buy a rsx rear sway. I wouldn't go with the Progress rear because 1)Its probably bigger than you need and 2)They are known to break endlinks. I wouldn't go with the Progress front bar either because like punking said on the 01-02s they're already pretty big.

The rear progress bar is not shaped quite right and can break stock endlinks. It is a good bar for the price. Either get a 03-05 RSX rear bar (19mm), 06 RSX-S rear bar (21mm), RSX-R bar (22mm) or comptech bar (22mm). The stock front is 25mm already, there is no need to upgrade it.

Well then you have a choice...

For street use, upgrading both front and rear anti-rollbar can improve handling and still allow you to run a relitivly Soft spring for better ride comfort. But, if you plan on upping the spring rates, I would advise against increasing the effectiveness of the front anti-roll bar. (Stiff anti-roll bars + stiff springs ushually just ends up making for a poorly handling car that "Feels" Great.)

Just throwing this in here. If you DO decide on getting a Progress rear sway bar, I have one for sale.
