what sway bars u guys running on the dc teg? looks like a lot of u have the ITR rear but havent seen anyone mention which front.
which front and rear u guys running, and hows the understeer? oversteer?

 

im sure i few are out there with aftermarket fronts but stock is beefy enough already. There is always the 26mm front from mugen

 

Adding a bigger bar in the front will help trasintional response however it will make the car understeer more (PUSH)

 

With my "tuned" set from SuspensionTechniques, the front bar was kept stock size, but the endlinks were changed. I know what the rear bar had the most noticable improvement in handling, but then again, the car was more stable after installing the front bar. So there it is, my answer that answers nothing

 

i have the ST front(22mm) and rear(19mm) right now. i wan tot go either ITR 23mm rear or progress 24mm rear. just wondering how would the feel with the 24 rear and the ST 22 front. my car hella understreers right now. want to get ride of that but dont want to how over streer .

Its true the stock is beefy as is. Just replace the endlink bushings. If you don't have a front strut bar, then I suggest you get one. As for the rear sway...the USDM 22mm is enough...the JDM 23mm is slightly better. Anything bigger and theres a high risk of tearing the sub frame.

thats true, a good sway bar and lower profile tires would help you "feel" more in control

yes, tho the bushings for the R may be stiffer. unsure.

most of the ek/eg/dc autoxers here run it... and they're in the top of their class..

 

Don't be blindly fooled by diameter numbers, there is much more to how effective/stiff a sway bar is than just the diameter.

The length of the lever arm, where the bar mounts, the endlink design, the tensile strength of the material used, etc, etc

 

Anyone know where I can pick up a new or used Skunk2 rear sway bar? They dont make them anymore and I wanna get one before it goes outa style y0!

That last statement sort of suggest you only want one because you want to be "in with the trend."

Anyways...try:

Recycler.com
Ebay.com
Classifieds here at Honda-Tech.

There is a "search" function.

You rock ITR LCAs? That really doesn't affect the installation of the sway bar. Just the shocks. Just get an OEM ITR rear sway bar/BSQ kit and you'll be set. Reinforce it with the Bennen or Comptech tie bar.

I may have been on the harsher side. My apologies bro...

Let me help you out...this is what you want right?




Looks good in red...although very very similar as the USDM ITR sway (ITR is beefier by 1mm ). I like the new endlinks they provide...I found prices and they are not so pretty (brand new prices)...One time search using yahoo.com

Heres a few:

i'm running the comptech combo kit, the rear feels nice and planted, and i can almost feel the rear lower down and hug the turns, too bad i have crappy all season tires that feel like i'm driving on ice

 

yea, i just bought a set of Cusco Comp S coilovers for the dc2r and i had to get ITR lca's to make the stuff work.. could run a dc2 sway bar??
