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...

 

I always got told to not install sway bars unless you have at least the car lowered. but some of you have installed it? Is that safe?

 

No, We're all going to die.

 

Order placed!

 

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.

that is why i asked about the stock suspension

 

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.

Again; HOLY****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

14's and 60series tires FTL. They looked good though.

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.

 

Nope, its only mounted to the spring perches with 3 thick bolts on each side
Its very sturdy.... Progress did their research.

 

guess I will be ordering one soon. Want to do my whole suspension at one time. Hit it and run lol

 

Anyone using GF210's with this? I might put off my springs installation to get the bar.

 

Oh well just ordered. Best price I found was here for $140.25 (no tax and free shipping):

Never Enough Auto - Honda :: Fit :: 06+ Fit :: Suspension :: Lowering Kits & Handling :: Anti-Sway Bars :: Progress Rear Anti Sway Bar #62.1060

 

You made a good decision. Lowering the car will make far less difference in handling than the bar.

 

Wow you are like scary-sold on the bar, huh?

For $140 I figured why not give it a shot. Only thing left to do will be wheels after this.

 

I thought he was being sarcastic? lol i dunno

 

I was thinking the same thing!

If you need those bars, I have them as well.

Perhaps someone can comment how the progress bar works with GF210 springs. Will the rear be to stiff?

 

Does anybody elses bar make noise?

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.
