so at wat speed does the car oversteer? will the car oversteer when driving about 70mph and makin small turn like on a curvy or windy road?
probably like 25 to 35 degree turn? just wondering if the car willl start oversteer at a certain speed, just to be on the safe side cos i do alot of highway driving at 70 to 80 mph. and i dont wanna be spinning or wiping out
No.
The car will oversteer only if you want it to, but you 'll have to take it to 13/10's to provoke it... You are perfectly safe!!!

X2 for comments from Carlos and Mx. You'll be very happy next time you're doing 75-80 mph in a stiff crosswind also. No more rubbing mirrors with the car in the next lane.
got my swaybar in and had to wait a few weeks to install - did it tonight with help of a couple friends. I cannot believe the difference, it feels like a totally different car - and well worth the money. the only thing i was worried about was the way the rubber pads sat on top of the bolts - but i suppose since no one has had problems then it should be ok. Very easy to install and way kewl...
ha, thanks for the wise ass answer . but really anything over 21mm (even 21mm is large)should have some type of sub frame reenforcement since it could attentionality damage or even rip or tear out under hard conditions.
I have to post about this.... So, today I put my Eurosports back on. 15x6.5in with 215/50/15's.
I must say HOLY****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have NEVER EVVERR felt my Fit handle this way. Took this S bend at 40mph entering then accelerated through out the bends. Not once did I brake or let off. On the throttle through both turns.
Tires didnt sound or even show signs of starting to break loose.
14's and 60series tires FTL. They looked good though.

that is why i asked about the stock suspension
Whats it going to rip out? Its mounted on the rear spring perches. Its mounted with 3 bolts on each side. Its pretty sturdy, it isnt going anywhere. If it rips out or breaks something Im sure Progress would pay for the damages.

its not mounted to the sub-frame? I had a 22mm on my ek, but I had a lot of suspension work done to it so it did not have as much play as a stock suspension would. I know with the civic's sway bars were attached to the sub-frame, and if it was not reinforced or major suspension work done to reduce the shifting it would rip out of the sub-frame where the sway bar was bolted.
Oh 3 bolts too. ok, I take back what i said. I guess it could still happen, but not likely with 3 bolts. Unlike on civic's the one bolt on each side attached to the sub-frame.
Is there an issue w/ the bar hitting the gas line?
A bar that makes noise is not installed properly, or springs were not reinstalled properly in the bar installation. There is no noise issue with this product. It does not hit fuel lines if installed properly.
