2018 Hatch Sport Sway Bar Upgrade

[123sillyboy123]

What's the perferred med to low price swaybar upgrade for the Hatchback Sport?

Any recommendations?

Do front strut brace help in handling in this model?

Thx

I have CTR one on my sport hatch with OEM Accord aluminium endlink.. i love it. You dont have to change the endlink but I think upgrading the endlink will be beneficial too especially it's fairly cheap
For strut bar, I have ultraracing one piece, it is a very solid piece. I prefer it than cusco because it's steel one piece metal, very rigid!!

MOOG actually has end links out now. They're pretty inexpensive and better than the Accord's.

Front and rear springs / are the SI springs different than the Sport Hatch springs?

I have the SI rear bar and I'm loving it, you feel the different right away when cornering. The bushing is part of the bar and you can use the same brackets.

Did you just add the rear sway bar?

OEM Accord endlink,
Part No: 52320-TLB-A0 Required: 2
I think it is a very good quality endlink, OEM parts and it is a good upgrade to sport plastic endlink, just $12 a piece. You can also get CTR metal endlink for 3 times the price.
Check picture attached, credit to darkknight.
It is direct fit.

As for sway bar, why bother with aftermarket when you can upgrade to type r bar for less money and it is OEM honda parts.
It performs really well.
Some parts aftermarket is better but i think sway bar is ctr one for quality/price/fitting... only reason not getting it is if you look for a different color bar.
Eibach has red bar
Cusco has blue bar
UR has white bar

But how often does someone look under your car?
Just my 2 cents

I would just drop the $25 and order myself two new endlinks. Stock plastic one cant hold up well, the bushing will start to be pulled out after some mileage.

Or you can spend more for type R medal endlink.
I personally think accord aluminium endlink is a great buy

MOOG K750874 is the correct part.
Rock Auto is out of them currently (I'm sure it's because OE is plastic)
what you linked is incorrect (I'm now looking @ it on my desktop PC), that's for the 9th gen

For my Civic EXT, i installed the Si’s rear sway bar and rear springs combo, and it is way better than my stock set-up in terms of handling. And easy install.

Do you pics of your car with the Si springs on? I want to see how low is the drop with Si springs.

For me, not much difference in ride height with the Si rear springs on, the only reason i installed them is due to the si's stiffer rear springs. Here is a pic-top:stock, bottom:with Si rear springs
