What is there to figure out? I would suggest a mild bar if you are new to autox (that's what I've read). I assume it's better to have understeer than oversteer until you learn car control. Just get a Si or DA rear bar for now, and run any of the OEM ones up front.

 

Honestly my advice for autox (if you have only been a couple times or if its the first time) is to just go with whatever setup you have. Your driving ability (or lack there of) will be the biggest holdup, it is likely that you will not even reach the limit of the car by the end of the day. It took me about 3 autox's to realize the limits of my old beater. BTW it had only a stock front sway bar and no rear at all

Im thrilled to take a faster more responsive car to the track

I need pictures on how the OEM one connects.
I have seen the aftermarket kit that connects to the rear two hook holes but haven't seen a OEM one and don't know everything I need
24ten has a OEM one but he has the DA LCA and that going to throw my camber something horrible when I go lower.
Unless I offsset it with some new A arms in the rear which I'm trying avoid @ the moment unless I need it

 

You need the bar, the civic supports that bolt to the car and the end links. Do your LCA's have the holes for the end links? The sway bar has nothing to do with camber btw.

1. You don't have "A-arms" in the rear. You have an upper control arm which can be referred to as a "link"
2. Put down the rear sway
3. Go AutoX your car
4. When you get faster and the car starts pushing, install the rear sway
5. I have several ef track buddies who don't run a rear sway (the faster ones typically do though)
6. Go to junk yard and get si lca's with the hole or buy some aftermarket lca's
7. There are a million posts on H-T about installing a rear sway
8. Good luck

Don't get me wrong...it'll help with rotation provided you are running the correct suspension spring rates front and rear, but for "noob" purposes, just go have fun with the car...make improvements later.

Otherwise, you'll never get out there as you'll constantly be "prepping" the car.

 

Ok these coilovers came off a ef9 that came from over seas.........there are a importer warehouse and i want to get some background info on them before i offer them a price ...........i was told there also fully adjustable but he said they have no sticker on name on them

came off lhd ef9 with no back seats and a bolt in cage

 

LHD WOULD BE A EURO SPEC EE9
UNLESS IS FROM MAYLASIA OR SOMETHING BUT JAPAN ONLY HAD RHD
THEY MADE LHD DRIVE EF9/EE9/ED9 IS OTHER COUNTRIES

WHAT DOES THE VIN PLATE SAY


AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE STICKERS ON THEM YOUR BASICALLY NOT GONNA FIND ANY INFO BUT i'LL OFFER YOU $200

NVM: FORGOT THAT THOSE MODELS HAVE ITR STYLE LCA

They LOOK like ksport style. I would not offer more than 250 from the importer, they are 88lca style, could be blown, and you can get omni's for like 550(ish) new...

I will on sunday and when going on spirited drives. Most of the outings since it has been running have been strictly A-&gt;B so i just used the stock belts rather than look rediculous. Thanks for the props, im stoked for sunday

 

I'm pretty sure those gold coilovers are from this Japanese company back in the early '90s called "y0mama racing." I would look further into it though.

Edit: car looks good Rob! GL at the autox.

 

lol

See I was throwing a o2 code bfore. But once I started getting the 43 the o2 code went away. I did install a new o2 sensor but it was just a advance 10 dollar special! ha
