Your biggest problem is going to be the Honda sensing system, lane departure, collision avoidance ect. I can tell you from all the construction here, all the different traffic lines tend to confuse it. One of two things will happen: you go to move over and it pushes you back, or just suddenly hits the brakes. Yes you can turn it off but in some cars it's not a true defeat and if you get into what the ECU thinks is too much trouble, can still intervene. Unfortunately I can't answer that particular question for you. I will say that you 100 percent should upgrade the rsb with either size Progressive bar, or similar companies offering, track or DD. It's tremendously reduces the jerkiness and is really the way the vehicle should come from the factory. Because of this, i have found it also minimizes the cmbs intervention as well, which can be scary in the street, more or less the track.

I hadn't read anything about stiffening the rear bar. I'll read around more and see what works well. Thanks for the feedback.
I went with the smaller 20mm bar because I was looking to correct the horrible way they tuned the stock bar sizes, not for max stiffness(and reduce understeer, I hate understeer). There is about a 10mm difference between front and rear bars stock. I understand they did it for comfort but the end result was a massive shimmy in the rear end at highway speeds. I would have simply softened the rear shocks and runs a slightly wider wheel with less tire pressure, but anyways, the rear bar is a must have upgrade period tracking or not. I strongly recommend the Progress bar their customer service was amazing and they went above and beyond helping me make sure the bar fit on my hybrid. The other companies were beyond less than helpful ( but unfortunately I'm eyeing some of their products because no one else really makes similar I like, and their products are quality). If your tracking, def go with the 22mm, I mean it's still a fwd sedan so why not dial out as much as possible if that's your desired use. I know more information than you asked but I mentioned because of the drastic reduction just the rear bar had in the computer systems intervening( and you have prior track experience figured I would go into a little more detail). Possibly because some of them rely on yaw sensors ect.
