Sway Bar Recommendations For GD3

Looking at installing some sway bars real soon before it gets too cold. Would like to eliminate the body roll in my GD3 as much as possible. Want her stiffer especially the way I corner. What are your recommendations? I would like to order them pretty soon. Also going to drop a strut bar in my engine bay. What size would I be looking at for that?

Rear sway bar, progress. front-Blox or T1r. depends on what handling characteristic you want.

Looking to stiffen up my ride as well as eliminate as much body roll as possible.

In the summer I'm looking at koni yellow shocks with ground control coil overs along with aftermarket lower control arms.

What cars are compatible with the GD3 Fit in regards to sways? Going to look in my area for some used ones. Would the EP3 civic be compatible?

There are no aftermarket lower control arms IIRC.

There are no LCA's in the rear. At all.

I agree! Progress rear sway is amazing!

Gino, search "BMW Alpina" threads- he put some CR-Z lca's on his IIRC.Sorry, dont remember if his is GD or GE, but he has put in a lot of research.

An inexpensive front strut bar is a complete waste of time and money on this vehicle and will do nothing to reduce sway. The addition of a RSB will provide the most improvement in handling with minimal (if any) impact on ride quality, I have been very satisfied with the Progress RSB.
