better sway bars

[91cbseven]

I have a 91 accord ex too and I bought the front and rear st sway bars and it made a huge difference especially with the polyurethane bushings. They are made for lowered cars but will fit on a stock height suspension.

Is wagon rear bar bigger than sedan (4 gen accord)?

[2winRB25]

I know someone with an LX who just put Addco sway bars on his CB. For an LX that already has Neuspeed race springs and Koni yellow struts he said it makes a huge difference.

I have CD5 EX sway bars on mine. Got them from a JY.

[cb3frompoland]

So cd5 rear sway bar is 16mm?

[Jarrett]

I think it's actually 15mm making it a useless upgrade over a CB Accord that already has a 14mm. I may or may not have felt a difference on my '93 EX when I swapped a 16mm CL bar on there. It's hard to tell because coilovers went on at the same time.

I have a Progress rear bar now that I need to put on and it is simply no comparison to the others. It's solid and 22mm-thick.

The Addco sway bars I seen the other day are massive. 1" or 25.5mm for the front and 7/8" or 22.25mm for the rear.

I did notice a difference with Cd5 EX sway bars but I think it was mostly because of the new end links and bushings.


edit- I searched a little and found some more info on aftermarket sway bars.

The ST front bar is 1-1/16" or just under 27mm. The rear ST bar is 13/16" or just under 20.75mm.

Progress rear is 22mm.

Ultra Racing rear is 19mm.

I think youre right. Checked ebay for sway bushings for cd5 and its written they are 15mm.

I would love to mount Progress sway bar but in Poland performance parts market practically don't exist. Even some parts are available they are extremally expensive. So I thougt about some Oem upgrade

Having owned two Accord wagons, I can confirm that the stock rear sway bar is 15 mm.

Like Jarrett, I have upgraded to the Progress rear sway bar (22mm). However, you should note that Progress no longer makes their sway bar for our Accords. I had to find mine on Ebay.

[Jarrett]

They do, but only in limited runs. I got mine brand new from somewhere that just got 10 of them in stock all of a sudden. I think a few people on the forum jumped on that a couple of months ago.

[DKR977]

Progress has them in stock, I just got my rear bar last week.

Progress has them in stock, I just got my rear bar last week.

I have to admit that I'm a bit upset that Progress wouldn't sell me a rear sway bar a couple months ago - and said they were discontinued. I hate dealing with the Ebay guys. And the one I found charged me more than Progress does for the bar.

[buzz11]

IMO, the rear sway bar is one of the best upgrades for handling. You'll definitely feel a difference after install. Theres also a DIY on a Progress rear sway bar install if you need help, when you get it of course lol

[cb3frompoland]

Yea I know what to expect. My cb3 had rear bar in standard. Have it in my basement. Its annoying when my rear starting to dance.

alot of our parts are officially discontinued thats why i want to see a whole flooding of quality replica stuff hit the market.

I bought a Progress bar last week for $165 shipped. Put it on last Friday and had fun all weekend. Definitely worth the price, makes the rear of the car feel more stable. My front tires would screech up the offramp at 55 mph before; I was able to go up at 60 mph with no tire noise after installing just the rear sway bar.

Pic for giggles and stuff.
