@zeekevin Can you share a bit more info on body roll and steering response? I found their website, but I'm not noticing a lot of body roll or unresponsive steering.Installed a progress 20.6mm rear sway bar with upgraded accord endlinks, totally transformed how the insight handles

I've noticed the Insight in its stock format doesn't handle very well - good amount of body roll even at low speeds. Can you elaborate on the transformation? Did that rear bar reduce the roll? Did it affect the ride any?Installed a progress 20.6mm rear sway bar with upgraded accord endlinks, totally transformed how the insight handles

I didn't find much detail info on the insight's sport mode but I did find the above quote from Honda for the accord hybrid's sport mode. I might be imagining things but I feel less body roll in sport mode...In Sport mode, the dampers become firmer for flat cornering; the Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides a direct, linear feel; Agile Handling Assist becomes more aggressive in the corners; Drive-by-Wire throttle response is powerful and direct; the transmission’s shifting is quicker; and Active Sound Control gives the Accord a sportier exhaust note.

zeekevin, I'm seriously thinking of picking up the sway bar cause I hate the body roll. May I ask why you chose to use the Accord endlinks rather than the stock ones? Progress Groups instructions don't indicate they needed to be changed and I'm assuming the civic's endlinks are the same as the Insights... or maybe not? Did you upgrade to the accords simply because the accords are beefier to better match the larger sway bar?Installed a progress 20.6mm rear sway bar with upgraded accord endlinks, totally transformed how the insight handles

This comment is for @zeekevin who swapped out the stock sway bar (stabilizer) with the Progress Group 20.6mm rear sway bar with upgraded accord end links. I see according to tyler65's list of shared parts that the rear bar of the Insight is different than that of the civics. Thus I'm assuming since your install went well and everything appears to be working fine that the 20.6mm bar was indeed compatible with the Insight...I have been going through the Honda Parts Catalog and cross referencing shared suspension parts for those that want to perform upgrades.
It is fairly safe to assume that, if the Stabilizer Bar in the Insight and Civic are the same, the aftermarket Stabilizer bar for the Civic will fit our Insights (Disclaimer: I am not making a promise, just making an assumption based on the shared similarities between the Civic and Insight)
So far, this is what I have found.... The following parts are shared with 2016 through 2018 Civics (Coupe & Sedan including SI) unless otherwise noted
