2008 LX sway bar

[pdearing]

I am about to take delivery of a 2008 LX sedan. I want to upgrade the suspension to handle better. Is it a straight bolt on to replace the LX sway bars (24mm front and 10 mm rear) for Civic SI sway bars (27 mm front and 17 mm rear)? Does any one have experience with this? Thanks.

im pretty sure the rear is, but dont change the front, everything ive read says the front is too strong and people would be swapping over for the lx/ex front sways if they were solid and not hollow

I'll start with the rear and see if the front needs more bar. I know from experience if the rear gets too strong relative to the front the handling balance can get off. From what I read, the Si balance is pretty good. Thanks for the input. I'll let you know how I make out.

alright.

on another site all the Si people are looking for a thinner bar and are trying to get a company to make one

^whats wrong with the si bar? is it 2 big? front or back?


if you get a bigger sway bar in back= over steer. the back end will get ass happy and slide out.
if you get a bigger sway bar in front = understeer. you turn the wheel but the car wants to go straight.

the civic EX goes through the slolem as fast as a porshe, i believe it was the 911

so is it a direct replacement 'bolt on' from the SI rear sway bar to the LX?
