I know, this topic has been a little bit overkill, but I'd just like to share. WOW! I love this mod and I drive 1.7EL sedan. The rear is SOOOO tight! . But now the front seems a little nervous. Anyone driving EX sedans feel the front may need some work? And if so what might be some good ideas? I already have a front tower bar. It could also be due to the crappy firestones. Comments, suggestions are welcome!

Get a front sway bar. Get the progress front 27mm sway. I think its 27 not sure.

No, Not even close. most products availble, especially suspesnion parts are "detuned" meaning that although they are Much better then stock, they arn't nearly enought to cause damage with street driving. If you Raced the thing and took regular excursions off the track, then you could do some damage. But I'd say 99% of the people who do get suspesion parts be it Anti-sway bars or Shocks and springs never actually use them to the Limit. That and the 19mm Is definitly better then stock, its not enough for racing. and its not adjustible.

as far as the front being loose? If you add a larger anti-sway bar there, you are going to cause a little more understeer. although the stock one is woefully in adiquite and does need to be upgraded, if you go to a 27 up front and keep the 19 in the rear you are really going to be adding some Underseer. I'd sugest geting the Si's 25.4 mm bar. It will give you a better balance front to rear then going to a 27mm. If you had the Progress 22mm rear bar, then you could go with the 27mm and have a good balance of weight transfer front to rear(Ie. a more Nutural handling).

27mm could cause a nice crease down the center of your roof.
That is if you were to drive and corner hard.

Unless I remember something incorrectly... there is a major fitment issue with the Si/RSX bar because of the fact the K-series motor is on the other side of the engine bay. So the sway bar does not properly fit into the EM chassis.

thanks guys! Under normal driving, it's really nice. No more nose dives like I use to get and I can take some curves at a bit higher speed than I used to so its all good!

Yup again, i'd recommend this mod to ANYONE. I bought it off a friend of a friend of mine for $90 CDN locally and I live in Vancouver. He wouldn't go lower than $90 but I don't have to go through hassel of shipping and handling so it's all good. Got my friend to install it for me and I used the rsx bushings and stock bushing holders. Took about 45mins to install.
