Nice!

I see the OEM end links to your sway bar. Do you have the Progress sway bar attached with those. If yes, how are the holding up?

 

[RobSBP]

It's 20mm 2013 Si sway bar. I will upgrade to 24mm soon. The end link is OEM. Even HPD use stock one with their "secret" sway bar.

How does it feel? Gains?

 

[RobSBP]

Definitely better low end. Now I can do front wheels spin sometime. LOL! That is big consider it's an r18 automatic. The car pull a little harder in mid range. Feel like more torque. That help a lot when go uphill. Transmission respond quicker between shift. Somehow engine sound more aggressive than before when floor the car. Less engine noise while cruising or light acceleration.

Nice! How much did it cost? Did you install it?

 

[RobSBP]

Na, I don't have enough tool to do crank pulley. I got it at wholesale price less than $200.

Latest pull 8.2 sec from 0-60 MPH.
The car was slipping for almost a second. Might be able to pull 8 sec flat if I change from 205 to 215 tires.

I have a similar time. Are you shifting, in D3 or in D?

 

[RobSBP]

Just D. Cool weather helps a lot! I steped on gas right after released brake pedal. Normal stop and go drive.
I'll do it again after KTuner!

 

[RobSBP]

My LX try to keep up with ILX and Si. Not Bad.

Gaining about 25hp after tune the car with KTuner. So happy!
Now I can do N-60 in 8.07 seconds.

 

[Pauly99to17]

What's next?

 

[RobSBP]

I tune the car myself this time. So far so good. Still fine tune everything.
RV6 Cated Header/downpipe then let Vit do eTune my car.
