There is supposed to be either a Euro or a JDM Honda 18mm front sway bay which will fit a DC2 Integra. Anyone know which car it would come from and where I could find one?

THANKS!

I know that Mugen offers one, but its a little over $300 from kingmotorsports. If there are other options, I'd love to hear about them.

why not just use the itr 24mm??

shouldn't any of the 92-95 Civic front swaybars fit with the corresponding D-bushings and endlinks?i'm not sure what sizes they used(17mm comes to mind?).they should be easy to source,and fit right up.

i'm assuming you want to go smaller to get the car to turn a little more?

Yea, smaller. I am running a 21mm Civic EX bar now. As far as I can find, that is the smallest bar offered on USDM Civics that will bold up. A 17/18mm would be more ideal.

i was thinking that some of the lower trim level Civics used a smaller front bar,but i just looked it up and 21mm is small as it gets.....

Hey, FWD with big Front bar is the latest in push technology.

Just loose the bar all together

TeamNextGenChris

you said it.i know many people don't run a front bar,but that's a huge step from 21mm to nothing.

The ONE bar a fwd race car needs is a front bar. And it needs to be of a certain kind. Do that, and your life is better, easier, and faster. Even if you can't reach it from the drivers seat.

Scott, who finally figured out what sway bars are really for...

Hiya Scott! Cryptic as ever I see! Good to hear from you again. Are you still of the "no sway bars at all" religion?

All I can say is if you've got push with a front bar on your FWD car and attribute all of that push to the bar, well, you're doing it wrong.

Jeezuz Nate! It wasn't THAT cryptic. It should be obvious now that I bear witness to the religion of the One True Swaybar.

As to your own crypticism, I tend to agree about the wrongness...at root of the thinking.

Scott, who thinks if we weren't all out there wrongly attributing everything it'd be a lot quieter...

solo-x

Well, it was cryptic enough. So, what kind of front bar are you referring to? A cockpit adjustable one?

RR98ITR

I try.

You are correct. Adjustable. Cockpit if allowed by your rules.

Use a modest front bar, good for ~10-15% of your front roll stiffness with the blade at full stiff, set the car up on a grippy day/track with fresh tires (ie get the cambers to where they need to be). From then on on any given day you'll adjust your camber with the sway bar, and take a nap, **** your pit tootsie, or read poetry while smoking a pipe, while others are making more complicated setup changes.

Scott, whose approach to racing is a lazy one...I've never valued hard work for it's own sake in an otherwise enjoyable activity...
