good job and most importantly, glad youre enjoying it! 1 of the top 5 mods IMO. But be careful.... I have been able to induce oversteer a couple of times.... and the last 1 resulted in my car being totalled

glad you like it, i think it's the best bang for the buck for our cars.

Just get the thicker 25mm front sway bar from a 01. It should reduce oversteer and body roll.

i don't think they are the same for the fronts

the 01's had the thicker 24.5mm front sway bar. The 03-05 have the 16mm. I dont know about the 02's. I think the 16mm with the 19 is a little better combo for handling, but i like the reduced body roll of the 25mm better. It still handles better then stock with the 25mm and 19mm setup.

The 02's had 22 or 24..... somwhere in the 20mm range. I agree with Temjin, if youre not used to sudden oversteer, should try to avoid getting a larger rear sway bar... so upgrading to a 01-02 front sway bar wuold benefit... especially for everyday driving.

I measured the 2002 front sway bar with a caliper. It is 22mm.

The 02's have 25.4mm front and 13mm rear. The 02's got the thickest sway bar combo

Thicker doesnt nessisarly mean better. just like body roll or the lack there of, is a very poor indicator as to how well or how poorly a car handles.

I think we have a miscommunication I did not say thicker sway bars were good or bad. Everyone else was saying that. There was a lot of wrong info in this thread so I was just trying to point out the 01-02's have the same front sway bar 25.4mm and that the 02's have the thickest rear sway bar of all the 7thgens besides the SI. That’s all I was saying.

ah, "I see" says the blind man.


(Theres alot of misconceptions floating around about suspension tuning...)

 
Rep Power: 336

well, all i know is that im on the right track to properly tuning mine. next is a rear upper strut and front upper strut. i think boilermaker was selling his. then i gotta find a DC upper bar

it just depends on the individual and what there going to use the car for. My car is a daily driver and i dont autox or anything. The 16mm and 19mm handled better but i liked the 25mm and 19mm combo because it still gave me better handling over stock and all my crap didn't fly all over the place when i made turns.
