I took these two tonight when I got home. I gotta tear this thing apart so I can swap out all my parts from my yellow one over to it. I am going to be painting this one yellow also but leaving the moldings black and adding a ef8 front end. I also convinced my girlfriend to let me take the wings west kit off her white one and put it back to stock.The insurance company gave me 7500 for my yellow one and let me keep it. Now it has a salvage title though. I am gonna pull the frame straight and drop my extra b series motor I have layin around in it and race it in the scca.The wreck doesn't look so bad now.

Haven't gotten a chance to really test it out yet (it's 3am and I'm beat) but it feels good so far.








I need to paint the swaybar. It's starting to look like a vega-box steering wheel down there

^^^bwahahahaha vega box undercarriage lol. Looks good man I had the exact same sway bar, did you set it to full stiff? You should if you havent. I had problems with the st hardware I had to re-thread 4 of the bolts due to shitty hardware. Time to hit the track.

That green color is hideous. I'm glad both of my ST bars are still the nice old grey color. I want to know who the hell decided to paint them that putrid green? They need fired.

Don't put the front on, it is too big. Stock is plenty, a hollow HF bar is the best, but Si or DX will work. I never had any problems with any of the ST bars I've installed, maybe with the new green paint came poor quality control.


Also I like how you reinstalled the tow hooks. I never thought of that, nor would I ever do it because those things are a pound or two a piece, but I think it is neat regardless.

I set it on the center setting. This is the first time I've had a car with a rear swaybar, so I wann take it easy while I'm learning to drive it

I guess I got lucky with my hardware. It all worked out perfect, except that the "ST" sticker on it is upside down, so at first, I was trying to put it on the wrong way.

I guess I just assumed that when the bar was installed, you'd be able to read who made it. haha.

I still don't know why people say this.. I have had both front and rear on my first and second CRX.
I would say that swaybarS(front and rear) are the best suspension mod out!
Why do you say its to much?

Put your stocker back on the front and try again. It is allot better. I've tried it both ways on both a hatch and crx.

Big front bar gives you less turn in. On a fwd you want a big rear bar and a smaller front. This is what most autox cars run also.

Yea i have ST bars front and rear and it feels good to me. My rear is set to soft too. No 2 cars or drivers are alike. Its all in what u prefer and how u like the "feel" of things.

I was thinking of doing the front later on, everyone who has had both loves how it drives. I likea real stiff setup and balance to both front and rear. I feel that right now when I hit a corner real hard the rear holds but the front wants to float abit.
