Less Body Lean for a Daily Driver
 
We have a 2015 LX sedan, bone stock except for 225/45/17 on 17x8 2006 TL wheels. Did not help much with body lean, even at 35 mph through cloverleaf. Would the next step be sway bars? We see Front (29 mm), and 22mm Rear Eibachs for $303. Will this improve control without taxing ride comfort? It’s a daily driver.

Tires aren't going to help with body roll.
Sway bars will, could probably get junkyard bars + mounts, with new endlinks for cheaper than the eibach. However the eibach are probably stiffer.

forget the front bar. on my 2002, i removed the front one.
find a larger one for the rear. I run an 24mm on the rear, no front and it still understeer. Eibach goes the wrong way for civics

Hi,

I am blind, so bare with me. I'm using an audio screen-reader, so don't know the ins and outs.

Our 2015 LX sedan, what is the OEM sway bar sizes? What alpha-numeric code is our model labeled? Like EP3...

The Eibach comes in a 19MM, by itself, but if we get the set, it's 22MM rear, and 29MM up front. Can I get an Acura bar instead? Are there any that are compatible with this generation? When did the ILX go with independent rear Suspension? Please direct this newbie. Thank you in advance and thus far.

So it came down to the 19MM Eibach or one dealer said I could get the 22MM. With the
 
So it came down to two choices, both Eibach. If I got the 19mm, I'd need to buy the mounting kit. One seller said that if I bought the 22mm, that not need such kit. I spoke with Eibach, who did not recommend the 22 for our LX. He said the 19, with the mounting kit was meant for our car. Since I was not getting much info anywhere I posted, I went with his recommendation for the 19mm. I guess I'll try it on the stiffest setting and go from there.
