Yo, i have a 5th gen and i heard that it useless to have the front and rear sway bar by suspension tech becuase of some understeer/oversteer factor? can someone explain that S***? Or is there any truth to this? I was thinking of just getting the car lowered, rear sway bar and upper strut bar? what do yall think?

i have an LX and I just got both my S/T sway bars put on today...so far they are great.

but I didnt understand this comment: "but id say if youve got an LX, get both, if an ex get the rear".
why wouldn't you get both if you have an EX? I know they come with the rear unlike the LX but still that makes no sence.

if you get a larger and stiffer rear bar, it induces more oversteer, and a front induces understeer. oversteer is when the rear will break loose first, understeer is when the front would break loose first. understeer feels like your car wants to push the front end through a turn, while oversteer is more like powersliding or drifting around a turn. i've got both bars in my accord, and they make it almost completely neutral, with a little hint of understeer.

And as soon as I get my damn new bushings, I am probably going to put my S/T bar back on in the front.
