ST Eibach Progress

Anyone using any of these sway bar setups? I have a 02 EX.

Suspension Techniques
Eibach
Progress

Which one do you think is the better name brand? What setup are you using and how do you like it?


Thanks!

I'm sure you can with every kit, but what made you opt for the Eibach over other brands? Also, would you take it back for another brand if you had the chance?

Depending on what you want to set the car up for, you might be better off saving some money and buying a rsx rear sway bar. Are you looking at a street set-up or something more geared for the track?

idunno... i hear progress snap the enklinks for the rears prematurely. so ST or Eibachs. you can go with DC5 OEM for the rear cheap. but it really depends on why and what purpose these sway bars are for. and goodtimes, my dad never got me anything for my car for x-mas..... lucky b@stard haha

you should get either ST or Eibachs. i dont know how good those are but Progress sways are way too thick for daily driving. unless you like your ride effing uncomfortable.

The setup is for daily driving, so nothing too extreme.

Better brand for an anti-roll bar.... No such thing.

If you're just aimming for a more balanced street-set up than IMO you need nothing more than a rsx rear sway.

-edit-You should really consider the size of the bars not the brand.

what you should be looking at is how Anti-roll bars are tuning parts... meaning, depending on how the car is handling now will tell you what you should or shouldnt do with your anti-roll bars. Theres no BEST, just tuning options.

simple tuning...

1. if the car is understeering too much either decrease the effectiveness of your front anti-roll bar or increase the effectiveness of the rear (or both)'

2. if the car is oversteering too much then either increase the effectiveness of your front bar or decrease the effectiveness of the rear bar (or both).

See? no better no worse, just tuning optoins.
