Wondering if i should buy the 22mm CTR Rear Sway or the AEM CAI.

What would you guys do?

Well...I went for the sway. Awesome handling mod, JDM goodness...and I'm just not sure if I want an intake yet. Plus, even if I was sure...I can't decide which one to get. Haha.
ICBMotorsport.com has the sway for a good price, btw...

Edit: Here's the link to the sway review (http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=37921&highlight=sway)

Depends on ur preferences. Want better handling that only you will notice, get the bar. Want a little more OOMPH and growl under the hood, get the CAI.

As for me, I'd go CAI. That was my first mod. :D

Have fun

It all comes down to do you want to ride on rails or make the EP sound alot better.

I voted for CAI, but i would go Injen over AEM.

-Aj-

EDIT:
but if your all about AEM, a member has a used one going for $100 shipped, pretty good deal.

Go with the sway bar:1- It's cheaper
2- It instantly improves the car
3- you'll feel it with every turn


My 2 cents

Go with the Injen Cold Air, easier IMO than the AEM. Goes over the battery, while the AEM goes under :p

Anyway, unless you got the money. Forget springs, cause you should save or spend the extra for a full kit like Mugen or Tein. I like the way my car looks with the H&R's, just don't like all the trouble. Wished I would have waited and got the Mugen kit :(

Rear sway would be good, but I say get a used Type-S one. Good upgrade that you can notice. Go for about $50-$100, check out clubrsx.com or check with our vendors.

i kno it ain't always the best advice, but upgrading both sways on this car makes such a big difference as opposed to changing just the rear... but if you're on stock height, i'd have to say that you drop the bitch instead.

I say progress sway w/tie....

Get a lot more bang for your buck with that puppy on than a cold air intake....
