Honda has not changed the price or part number here in the states so far. I’m still on the fence of getting one for my si if it’s worth the extra 2.5mm thickness.

From what I've read, a single mm already makes a difference. 20.5mm is 2.4x as stiff as 16.5mm. I'm pretty sure it'll still be a very nice and inexpensive mod.

I would say it’s worth it. 1.5 made a difference in my hatch...16.5 to SI 18.0.

Are they hard to get in the US? Would like to buy one there and have it shipped at Mail Order Depot than I can pick it up. Will save me some mileage.

Anyone here works @Honda Dealer in the US?

Let me know.

Just ordered it. Will decide if I will go with the type r end links for an upgrade/peace of mind. Still a cheaper alternative vs other aftermarket ones.

Is the SI rear sway bar (52300-TBJ-A01) better than the stock rear sway bar for 2017 Civic EX-T Sedan?

I have the Si bar but haven't installed it yet. It's only 1.5mm bigger than the EX-T but the difference should be noticeable.

Anyone done the front bar? I'm curious how much work that is..
You'll have to drop the front subframe, and take the steering rack off of it to clear the front bar. Easier on a lift, but not impossible on jackstands on the ground.

Does anyone have a link for the sway bar. I want to get one for my 2016 Honda Civic Touring Coupe.

Question does anyone know if the CTR rear sway bar fit the 18 HB sport touring?
