I'm currently sitting on BC-BR Coil-overs and swift springs (like many of you) and I'm planning to buy a RSB. I'm looking to use the car in low key street legal track sometimes. But its already a pretty rigid setup with the coils. I've asked around and searched about the RSB but I couldn't get answers addressing my specific concerns: I already know the RSB is great on this car as it comes but is it too much with the BC's, will I inadvertently hurt my street handling where roads are imperfect? Will I induce unwanted oversteer, the only thing worse than understeer?

If I do it I will definitely do an adjustable RSB but would I want to do tubular 22mm instead of solid given the coils and springs? I'm new to these cars but long ago learned not to make assumptions. A fast accord is no longer a fast accord once it's wrapped around a tree because its owner assumed a component would make it faster because the part is painted bright colors. Thanks, be safe

First understeer is way worse than oversteer, especially since you stated your looking to track the car, which is a situation you want a little oversteer dialed in. The rsb on these cars are horrible and have caused known handling issues and numerous threads about the issue. The rsb is the weak link in this suspension. The reason manufacturer dial in understeer is because it is safer as the average driver doesn't know how to deal with oversteer. Sway bars in general only have minimal impact on ride comfort. You don't need an adjustable bar. If your really that concerned with oversteer, go with the progress 20mm bar instead of a 22mm. Also we I started in my review of the differences in the two bars, the smaller bar puts less stress on the end links. Consequently your could also go with a 22mm rsb and compensate with a strut bar to minimize the oversteer. The car should have come with the 20mm bar from the factory honestly, especially since they already make the 19mmm type r bar and it bolts right up. Personally, i abhor understeer, and usually my first mod is sway bars. Don't take offense but at this point seems like you need a driver mod not a car mod. I would spend it on a racing school class.

Forgot to mention that you can make the car as stiff as you want but if you don't have the proper wheels and tires to take it advantage and grip the road, it can actually make you slower. The stiffer one end is the less grip it will have. Stiffer does not equal more traction.
