I had a 99 SI and a Mugen rear sway bar transformed the handling. The inside front wheel still gets light and spins on this model, may be more so because of the extra torque, I am getting a mugen for this one just wondering if anyone changed the sway bar yet.

Did it improve the inside front balance as it did on the old SI.

The old and new SI share a tendency to squat in the rear and lift the opposite front wheel under power, its feels like it pivots diagonally.

The mugen sway bar improved that tendency significantly on the old SI.

I hope this makes sense.

I have the RSX-s rear sway bar on my EP and I could feel a difference the first corner I took at speed. The car feels much more neutral now. You have to be careful because the back will start to come around on you before your front wheels start loosing grip.
