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.

I take very slow corner and no sharp turn. My tundra have really bad sway. I drove the polit and the mdx and their ride is so much more smoother going over bombs and turns. And I was wondering what's more efficient sway bar for body roll or upgrade shocks. Keep in mind I drive like a grandma. And every turn I take there is a body roll to one side then it comes back and forth before a stop.

I just want to reduce the body roll not racing around the corner or trying to run the fastest lap. My moms odyssey have one of the last body roll and really comfortable while on road trip. It soaks in the bumps and your not being tost around. Same goes with the polit and the mdx, the rdx have less body roll then the crv. I have not driven the rav4 or the cx5. But what I would like is just to reduce the body roll. Taken turn I have to brace myself at 13 mph and going the on the clover ramp at 20 the whole car shift one way. My types s and accord feels way better then this. And yes I just order the rear sway bar from ultra racing with a 2 days shipping. I will keep postested. It was 260 got it for 240 with the shipping. If it does what i want I might add more parts to it. They have a total of 4 parts to achieve the 40% less body roll.

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.


They just refunded my fee for 2 day shipping. I emailed them but havent got a respond to why I was given a refund. I was thinking about getting the rear sway bar and the front mount.

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.
"Your order was directed and fully processed to ship from Malaysia – we haven’t received tracking but will reach out and update you as soon as we receive it. Tracking updates sometimes are delayed from Ultra Racing with items often reaching out customers on their air shipments ahead of receiving tracking. We will update you as soon as we hear and don’t worry, everything has been processed and this should be on its way to you!"

They emailed me back so probably the same for you too.

The mechanics took 35 min to install and cost me $45. Over all going around corner have reduce body roll by a lot. Going over pot hole, the car doesnt feel like it's going to drop so far down and swing so far back to the other side, it feels a lot better. Highway speed of 70 was not a problem. Allentown PA roads are not the best and the sway bar made it feels better. Going over bumb made a huge difference also. The whole project cast me around 280 for parts and install. Took a little more then 2 weeks to get and very happy with the results.

Keep us posted with the sway bar fitment! Very curious.

Do you have a link to the rsb you bought?

Ultra Racing - 16mm Rear Anti-Roll Sway Bar - 2017+ Honda CR-V - UR-AR – Throwdown Performance, LLC

It made a big difference.

Did you already install then? Whats your thoughts on it?
I have it installed. And I like it a lot. The starting wheel feels heavier. Making turn feels so much better. Going around the clover ramp also improved a lot. The suspension feels better it's a little more stiff but not to a point where you either have to trade stiff for sway. Going on freeway the car feels more solid. I'm waiting on rdrage73 to have his 19mm installed to see how he feels about that. But the 16mm did just right for me and my wife.

Glad to hear you like it. Im kind of bummed it is only a 16mm rsb instead of somewhere in the range of 19-22mm where most companies manufacturers their aftermarket sway bars for Hondas. At 16mm only, it is a solid bar as oppose to tubular right?

Wonder why the awd utilizes a smaller sway bar.

I have no idea but you can really tell a difference between the stock one and the one from Ultraracing.

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.
After going on the road trip I can see why you would want to get a 19mm one. Have you gotten it yet? And are you planing to get different tire to help the stiffness? Mine feels so much better and the ride comfort is really nice. We loaded up the car and drove 500 miles. I think the next thing I want to resolve are the tires and add sound denting on it. I can hear a lot of road noise.
