Product Description

The Progress Tech 62.1026 is a Competition Series 24mm adjustable rear anti-sway bar engineered for the 2006-2015 Honda Civic (all trims, including Si) and the 2013-2018 Acura ILX. Developed as a significant step up from Progress's own 22mm 62.1009, this bar brings a larger diameter, a third adjustment position, and a fully integrated hardware kit - including adjustable end links, TIG-welded bushing brackets, and LCA reinforcement plates - into one comprehensive system. At its firmest setting, the 62.1026 delivers 535 lbs/inch of rear roll stiffness, compared to just 98 lbs/inch from the OEM non-Si bar and 165 lbs/inch from the Si bar. This translates directly to dramatically reduced rear body roll, sharper turn-in response, and a more neutral handling balance across all driving conditions.

What sets this kit apart from other sway bar offerings is the inclusion of Progress's latest generation adjustable end links. These ball-socket, threaded-adjustable units replace the OEM end links with a super-quiet, length-adjustable design that allows the installer to eliminate sway bar pre-load and fine-tune corner weight - a feature typically found only in dedicated track builds. The three-piece TIG-welded bushing brackets and LCA reinforcement plates further raise the bar by adding rigidity directly to the lower control arm mounting interface, ensuring that the bracket assembly doesn't flex or fatigue under the high torsional loads generated during spirited driving or track days. Combined with low-deflection polyurethane bushings, the entire system delivers an immediate and precise rear suspension response that the OEM rubber bushings simply cannot match.

The 62.1026's three-hole adjustment system makes it equally well-suited for the daily-driven Honda Civic owner looking to reduce understeer and improve commuter confidence, and for the track enthusiast who wants a fully tunable rear suspension platform for autocross, HPDE, or time attack events. All bars are CNC-bent and MIG-welded in-house in the USA, powder-coated in metallic gray, and backed by Progress Technology's 1-year limited warranty. No additional hardware purchases are needed - the 62.1026 arrives as a fully self-contained, ready-to-install system for the 8th and 9th Gen Civic and the first-generation Acura ILX platform.
