Rear Sway Bar Recommendation

[Vegas Viking]

You picked up the RV6P bar too? ??

No, just the Whitelines 22mm. It makes a big difference. The stiffest setting is perfect IMHO.

Per the recommendation on this thread I purchased the white line 22mm. Installed today and it is fantastic on the softer setting. I installed accord endlinks as well. Great upgrade. Getting the new sway bar in caused me to have to lower my 3” exhasut. Oh well.

Just ordered from hondapartshq.com. Used code rm10sd to save $10 on shipping. Total for me was $21.73. I've used this site previously to order my spare tire kit, I was happy with that transaction so I went with them again. Sorry for participating in the thread jack, just figured some of the people here would like to know as well.

Thank's, got everything ordered plus the code still works. That's a win win win.

Hey guys so I have a 19 sport I just ordered the eibach type R 25 mm rsb with the brace do you think it would be over kill?? Or what size do you recommend in the front to try and “even” things out? I’m on bc coils, dc strut bar, type R Cusco front/middle/ and rear brace, 27won rmm and spoon rigid collars( not installed yet) I plan on DD but would like to be track ready if that makes since

I would think it would be over kill. My opinion though. Unless your changing both, a small change would be best. I am running white line 22mm with the softer setting in place. So it feels like a 21mm. I love it. For reference a type R is 20.5 I think.

I also think thr 25mm Eibach bar will be overkill for a Sport model.

For reference, here the OEM rear sway bar rates:
- Hatch (non-R): ~ 300 lbs/in
- Si: ~457 lbs/in
- CTR: ~721 lbs/in

The sport sedan has the same 16.5mm solid bar that the hatchbacks use. Si is 18mm solid and Type R is 20.5mm solid. The EX-L sedan randomly gets a 17mm solid bar, but I don't have the rates for that.

Some of these aftermarket companies don't advertise their effective sway bar rates, but if it's made for the CTR, then it will probably be way more than 721 lbs/in. Overkill in my opinion too.

Thanks for your input guys I’m think n I’m run the rear 25mm on the soft setting with the brace and upgrade to eibach front 29mm if it’s too harsh then I’ll switch out to the 22mm rear ...so if you see 25mm rear sway bar in classified you know wat happened lol...

Comparison between Whiteline 22mm RSB + 26mm RSB Kit (includes links). Don't have the ability to weigh them, but the 26mm is a fair bit heavier.

 

[Boosty_collinFK7]

So I added the 25mm rear sway bar (type R) brace and endlinks... I think I like it for my set up . Corners way sharper but it’s controlled ..so far I need a bit more seat time to really pin point pros and cons but I also plan on adding LSD and a front 29mm sway bar once my type R retro clutch kit arrives which would make the ride perfect imo...so far so good

Boosty_collin Do you have links to where you got your type r bar and brace?
Real interested here.

I ordered directly from eibach site

Out of stock.....blargh

 

[Vegas Viking]

I've noticed way more squeaky noises in my chassis since having the sway bar installed. Is this normal?

 

[Si2020]

No noise here. I think a big part is living up the polyurethane bushings really well.

 

[Si_NSX904]

I have the Whiteline sway bar, I haven't heard any noise or had problems.
