Sway bars work...

...at speeds you should never be driving on the street.

Source: Me. I changed the sways and shocks/struts on my old car and never got to really experience them unless I was racing. I think I should've spent the money on seat time and driving instruction instead.

Noticeable difference on my Sport HB with the Progress, first I've heard anyone say they felt no difference, all have said night and day difference.
I have the Type R and yes it’s amazing and can’t Honda only charged $155 CAN for it. I wouldn’t think twice paying $300-$400 for it. I never got a sway bar without lowering my vehicle, which plays an equal part.

Said it before I can’t wait to wear down my OEM tires so I can get High Performance Summers, Continental ExtremeContact DW.

Those are great tires (sidewalls are a bit soft though) but they're actually HP all-seasons. Just sayin.

I'm running the Extreme Contact DWS 06 which are the hp all season version. The sidewalls are a little stiffer compared to the DWS. The DW is the summer tire. I use them all year round and they have been just fine for winter thus far.

I read the title thread. And I will help you out. Ignore all the lies every will tell you... disconnect your bars, drive it... link them up again... to put it simply. Yes. They work.

DW (dry wet) is their summer tire - DWS (dry wet snow) is their all season tire...
