Recommendation for Rear Sway Bar

Looking to do some HPDE, is Progress 22 mm fat enough? What is the OEM size?

Thanks.

The Progress bar is great. I recommend that you invest in some greaseable sway bar bushings -- a little Mobil 1 grease is vastly superior to the grease that comes with the bushings in my experience.

Pretty sure stock size is 20mm. I expect that a10% increase in cross section is pretty noticeable. I may be looking at one of these in the future also.

The stock rear stabilizer bar for the TSX is 15mm and the front stabilizer is 25.4 mm. I did 22mm Progress RSB along with A-Spec suspension when I first purchased my TSX back in 2006. I had to upgrade my OEM endlinks to Fastline adjustable endlink from HeelToe after snapping one in half just pulling into my driveway. Comptech and Progress were the choices I've had when I was looking. I think Comptech had some issues with working with certain aftermarket exhaust. I like Progress RSB because it had two settings for firm or firmer. I now had a little under 150,000 miles on this combo and it still rides and handles like new.

Thanks for clarifying that. Not sure where I got that 20mm number from. I actually just got under there this evening and looked at it. Crazy how skinny that thing looks after being under the front end of my Sequoia. That sway bar is THICK!

I've been using a 22mm TL-S bar that was $60 from Acura. I like it, overall. I have never tracked the car or anything. But it works well for making the car slightly more lively.

If anyone is interested, I've got a 22mm TL-S bar brand new sitting in my garage
