Progress Rear Sway Bar vs SiriMoto Rear Sway Bar

[ryan714]

Can anyone chime in on which rear sway bar is better? i understand the Progress is .6 mm thicker than the Sirimoto RSB and has 550lb/in for its rating. Then again, the Sirimoto has two settings: soft and stiff.

Might be interesting to wait and see what the Si rear sway bar diameter is... they are saying that it's 30% stiffer that the Sport rear bar... so that might put it in the 21mm range...and we also have the Type R around the corner as well so that might be another option if it fits.

I am interested in a rear sway bar as well. I just installed the SiriMoto strut brace, and while it made a noticeable improvement, I definitely want a rear sway bar for even better handling. Does anybody have any good info on the pros and cons of each of these? Also, I'm curious as to how many rear sway bars ever fail? Why would they have a one-year warranty? or no warranty?

I can't imagine the bar would ever fail. The main point of concern is usually the end links. Sometimes stock end link cannot handle aftermarket sway bars.

ProCivic is offering a $25 discount code (with free shipping), now through 5/19. So, the SiriMoto sway bar has Progress beat on price.

I ordered a Sirimoto rear sway yesterday. I'm excited to see how it performs with my front strut, coilovers and summer tires. I don't really care for that .6mm difference of the 1.0mm difference the Si's may bring. Anything is better than the stock EX one that's on there now.

I have the SiriMoto strut bar and I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the rear sway bar. Please keep us posted on your thoughts as you receive yours and install it, as well as the test drive!

Always heard good reviews about Progress, hence why I have one going on in a few weeks, Sirimoto strut bar went on a few days ago.

You and I are on the same page. Looking forward to do parts I can throw on my sport hatch!

Mannyp93 - did you get your SRM rear sway bar installed? Review?

I'm really wanting to get one of these, but I'd really like to hear more experiences that others have had before I make a final decision.

Thanks in advance!

I installed the sirimoto sway. Put it on the stiffest of the two settings. Love it
