They don't make one for 5th gen. CRV. I see Accord, Civic and Fit for 2017 and all of those plus the Talon for 2019. This is the only one I've found. Another forum member bought one but I don't know if he ever got it installed. I was waiting to see if it's much of an upgrade over stock EX sway bar. May have to go with other suspension parts to reduce understeer and body roll.
Anti roll bar/sway bar

Has anyone upgrade their sway bar/anti roll bar on their 17+ models? I was thinking about getting the eibach anti roll bar from tirerack.com to help with the swaying on my 18 touring. We are about to go on a 9 hr road trip with the new born and we really want something to help with the body roll.

crv is built on civic chassis but looking at diagrams, they appear to be different shapes but same length. I don't know how that affects fit and/or ride characteristics.
He didn't say "reduce articulation and stiffen up the ride". He said reduce body roll. One can accomplish this with a bigger or solid anti-sway bar. Going too big will have adverse effects such as too stiff, too much understeer and loss of traction at certain angles however an anti-sway bar only a few mm thicker will give desired effect. A much more expensive option would be bigger rims and/or lower profile tires to reduce sidewall flex and/or a customized suspension setup that's. I too am looking for the same driving characteristics. Admittedly I'm not an auto engineer but I have done this to a couple of my vehicles in the past ( both Accords) and was very happy with the results.
I too ordered one. Got it for $229 w/ free shipping. The other parts are for stiffening the chassis, they won't help with body roll. They're more for racing setups/ lowered vehicles.
Here is a link for front. I'll wait to see what I think with just the rear first.

"All Ultra Racing braces & sway bars may ship direct to you via air from Malaysia. Please allow estimated 1-2 weeks for delivery "
Same.Tuesday is my 2 week mark. If it gets here next week, it'll coincide with my oil change so I'll know fairly quickly the difference it makes.
So apparently the UR sway bar, though smaller, is solid and therefor stronger. I will get it
The steel may be harder but I've been in contact with Ultra Racing via Facebook They say the 16mm bar is made for the base model fwd that doesn't come with a rear sway bar and that I should go with a 19mm or 23mm which they make.
do you have fwd or awd? I'm exchanging mine for the 19mmUltra Racing - 16mm Rear Anti-Roll Sway Bar - 2017+ Honda CR-V - UR-AR – Throwdown Performance, LLC

The Ultra Racing Rear Sway Bar affects the handling of the car on the lower end of the suspension. Sway bars tie the lower suspension components together across the rear, and affect a car's oversteer and understeer. The sway bar will keep your car flat in turns instead of leaning over to one...throwdownperformance.com
It made a big difference.
Don't think they make a 19mm oem rear for CRV. I bought a 16mm like Juilt but mine is fwd so I'm exchanging the 16mm for a 19mm from the same company, Ultra Racing.
Those with awd probably aren't going to want the 6mm + solid vs hollow bar jump as it would probably induce too much oversteer unless you also plan to replace the fsb to offset oversteer. A 19mm is available if you contact ThrowDown Performance as it's not listed on their site (Ultra racing doesn't ship directly to the US). Ultra racing told me they also make a 23mm but Throwdown says one isn't available. Those that would like to really stiffen up the ride, would probably look into strut tower brace, frame braces, bigger struts and lower profile tires as well to accomplish this. If you're going to go that far, might as well install a tune too. imo this is just too much for a compact suv. Some slight changes to better suite my driving style without compromising handling in all weather conditions is all I'm looking for and I've had success finding that in the past with a stiffer rsb and good tires.
Progressing very slowly. I just got the rma number and return address. Shipped it back today. Waiting on their order to get here and then it'll be another couple days to get shipped to me. They now have the 19mm listed on their site in addition to the 16mm.Any update on your exchange? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the 19mm and hopefully some pictures to come with it
ok so the 19mm rsb is far shorter than the 16mm bar. FWD and AWD rsb are not interchangeable.19mm is only about 28" long. I about blew a gasket when UPS delivered me a short box and I didn't want to open only to repackage it to ship back like I did the 16mm. It'll be installed tomorrow afternoon and I will put it through the paces and update. On another note, it makes me wonder why a much longer rsb for awd is a smaller diameter and at only 28" will I even notice?
