Had 19mm eibach sway bar on my Dodge Dart back in the day (in 2014 lol) considering stock was around 13mm and loved it... now I'm thinking which one should I get for my civic - 22mm or 25mm, considering stock one is around 16mm....

Can you actually feel 3mm difference ?

This is my daily driver, on 16 inch steelies :D

If you put 25mm back there on an LX without changing some suspension bit and tires, you're setting yourself up for massive lift off oversteer in situations where you might not be able to control it. You'd be better off with the Si bar.

How about 22mm ? or still too much?

Im currently looking for Si wheels with wider tires... hopefully it should help, right ?

Stock on the LX is what... around 16mm?

As far as wheels. Stock Si wheels are really heavy. Me, I'd go with lighter aftermarket 17's with decent tires and use the 18mm Si bar. Even a 2mm difference in a solid rear sway bar is noticeably stiffer.

I got 22mm eibach sway bar and now looking for some wide and sticky tires... thinking about 18s for look... but $400 difference in between 17s and 18s making me think harder :(
