Anti roll bar/sway bar

Let us know how the install goes. I have a rear Ultra Racing sway bar in my garage waiting for me to quit being lazy, and the head to drop to less that 97F, and I'll tackle it. From what I've looked at so far the bolts at the top of the bushing brackets may be a little tricky to access due to the dual mufflers. If that's the case then it means dropping the end of the exhaust.

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.

Did you get any notifacaton on a shipment day yet? I havent gotten any respond or notifacaton.

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.

Just received tracking number it's to be delivered tomorrow. However it'll do me no good as fwd already has a 17mm sway bar, awd has 13mm. So if anyone in the US that has an awd and wants to reduce body roll and understeer, contact me.

Maybe the quality of the steal is harder and better then the OEM. Might be worth it just to check it out.

I know the FWD is .6" lower to the ground but did not know that the sway bars were so different. Would this mean the FWD has less body roll than the AWD?

I'm impressed with how little body roll my '18 Touring FWD has and how good it feels in corners.

Considering i went from a Miata to the CRV that's saying a lot.

ah, makes sense since I also have a FWD and was great in the mountains.
as I mentioned in my previous post, stiffer anti-swaybars makes it more bouncy when off road thus my guess is if its AWD, Honda might be considering some light off-road thus thinner anti-swaybar?

Our second car is a 2016 Miata. Lots of discussions on their forum about body roll-which the Miata is considered to have a lot of. (for a sports car) The consensus is that while body roll is disconcerting for a lot of drivers, it doesn't effect the overall handling capabilities of the car as much as you'd think. The upside is that the car is able to absorb bumps and road irregularities better. After almost 30 years of refining the suspension of the Miata, many people feel Mazda has hit the sweet spot of comfort vs performance. I also think Honda has done well in this regard.

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.

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

Do you have a link to the rsb you bought?

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...

do you have fwd or awd? I'm exchanging mine for the 19mm

I have the awd but I'm not sure what size it is. I know the old one was much much smaller and lighter.

Are you going for the OEM 19 or the aftermarket one?

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.

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.
