    Oem rear sway bar vs progress 22mm

    So our cars have some understeer and it wasn't tight enough for my taste so I went with progress rear swaybar and end links. Check out some comparison pix. Holler at mark for them, fast and good service.

    Progress sells the 22mm, i think tsx is 17mm... I'd suggest going with the 22mm, feels great. I just set the end links to match the stock length, i'll tighten it in a lil but i'm not experienced in adjusting the sway bar, i know how to shorten it but i dont know to what extent.

    OEM stuff is usually great but its an accord so they cant make it better than the tsx (we had the v6 first =P'''), or the tls. get the 22mm sway bar and end links, you're already under there.

    I have the oem sway bars installe to mine. It is not that shitty, though I may say that the stocks is far more good than the OEM ones.

    Huh? Stock would be OEM. The TSX (Acura), Ultra Racing and Progress rear sway bars are all upgrades for our cars.

    I have the progress 22mm and it's awesome. The only time I had a problem was taking a sharp ass turn going about 50 and I oversteered, but that was my fault cuz I thought I had enough room to drift through the corner and didn't compensate and ended up curbing. Other than that the 22mm vs the stock was a night and day difference. It's definately worth it and the stock sway bar looks like a fucking spaghetti noodle compared to the progress one once you see it in person haha.

    You do the end-links too, Keak?

    Yeah, only problem with the 22mm bar is oversteer. Worse than understeer, more dangerous, but easier to prevent imo.

    No I didn't do the endlinks. I think I'll swap those out whenever I end up doing like the full 6 or 7 bar chassis UR kit

    i only have the 22mm bar right now but ive ordered end links. is there any difference with aftermarket v. stock end links?

    it doesnt matter too much, because i just ordered them because the oem links look like the 22mm bar will just snap them in half. so i decided to not let that ever have a chance to happen lol

    No one has reported an issue with the stock end links and the 22mm sway bar. But, definitely nothing wrong with the insurance of swapping them out for the beefier aftermarket option though. If someone does have an issue, ill certainly re-evaluate rolling w/ my stock ones... and in a pinch, if one went out...it'd take more time jacking the car up than to swap an end-link out---they're cheap from the dealer last I checked.

    Hoping I can sell some more of the duty gear, need a few more buckaroos for all the mods I want to do now. Adding the progress bar to the list... this shit is expensive.

    I have the TSX rsb on my v6 sedan. My rear links are shot. Probably cause of my 19's nd the last 6 months of potholes .
    On top of the valve body gasket thats leaking on my rear cat nd my axle short rod seal leaking. Discovered it all this week while doing a coolant drain.
    at the dealership. Luckily my friend works there so i got checked up real quick. Gotta come back on tuesday for axle repair under warranty im at 57k with no extended . But they dont wanna cover the lower valve body gasket at the bottom of the exhaust manifold. Its leaking engine oil from a nut but they have to take a deeper look .

    Okay so um lol. My links......can i change to progress rear links nd leave the 17mm bar or is the 22mm, a much better upgrade? Just bought the tsx rsb in march before the 17s became hfp 19's
