96 civic dx w/ex lower control arms & the suspension techniques bars that i want.....
okay so the story goes like this..i have a 96 DX 4dr that feels really loose at fast speeds 60mph+ Now because of a past accident i had to replace my lower control arms and i just ended up getting Ex ones...
I just recently installed kyb agx shocks and its going to be aligned pretty soon like tommorow. Although i know this will help with the quality of ride and better handling i would still like to add some suspension techniques bars Front and back to stiffen up the ride in turns and just in general.
1. Will these bars fit on my car with me using the ex lower control arms and will i
have to drill any holes for the other mounting locations (on the chasis)???
2. Would those bars help my car not to feel so loose at high speeds?<--this is
what im really after!!!!
3. And if so what sizes should i get? And for which one should i get ex dx or it
doesnt make a diffrence??(no autocross just like to take some fast
turns on freeway off ramps
)
Thanx for all your help
ps. z10 radius rods are on the way as well as bushings to help me on the drag track side of things..!!! hiip hipp hooraaay!!! for me!!

Yes, you will have to drill the back of your control arms. There is an install guide at http://www.overboost.com in there tech articles.
P.S. DO Not get Addco rear sway bars there directions really suck and so does the rear sway bar.

Why don't you just get a stock EX front sway bar? I imagine it is probably cheaper than the ST one. It would be a guranteed fit too! But sorry, I don't know the anser to your question about drilling...

Well i found out that they make one for the dx (meaning they dont have the bars stock) but since i have the ex ones im still wondering if im going to drill into the chasis or where ever it is that it needs to be held on besides the control arm.
i guess ill just call them anyone have there number???
but please still give your suggestions on to what size bar and if this would help me out to my prob. thnx so far
