Default How do i find the right swaybar?

can anybody tell me how to find out the right size for the swaybars?

There are such big differences between brands.

itīs for a daily driven, weekend auto-x EG6.

Thanks

you need a ITR rear sway bar (22mm) & the beaks kit (you'll need the beaks kit to keep your subframe from tearing out). get them at http://www.beaksproducts.com get it all for about $250.00 or look in the classifieds - they pop up every so often. I got mine there for $200.00. you could have found that out if you searched

you might want a oem SI front sway bar (26mm) to complement the rear bar - if not could have some serious oversteer. you can get them from http://www.importautosalvage.com

lastly for autoXing I would suggest a Limitied Slip Differential (quaife is the best IMO http://www.quaife.co.uk lifetime warranty) to prevent excess wheelspin when cornering hard

edit - sorry i was thinkin this was for a 96+ civic me & listen to him below me

I'm assuming ou're talking about the 92 Del Sol??

Don't listen to that guy ^

First off...what spring rates are you running, what tire size, what front sway, etc.'

For a daily driver/ autox car, a GSR sway will be plenty for a driver like yourself. I doubt you want to spend 1/2 your runs hittin cones sideways because your tail whips around when you let off the throttle

no, the bars should be for an EG6, which iīll get soon...

i canīt tell you the spring rates. all i know is that the car already has adjustable KW coilovers...

tire size is 205/50 15" Bridgestone S-03.

do the EG6 have a factory front sway?

yeah they do, I believe 21 or 22mm...I'm not familiar with your specs in Germany.

If it's a real EG6, I believe it should have a rear sway stock...but then again, I don't know my JDM

Get the car and see how it feels.

If you're running a stunna JDM coilover setup, I would suggest a bigger rear sway.

But if you're like us US guys, we run stiffer springs in the rear, and the need for a huge rear sway does not exist

I've got a GSR rear swaybar for sale for 60$ shipped if you're interested. comes with everything: bushings, d-brackets, endlinks. most ITR bars out there don't include the hardware and you need to buy it seperately from Acura.

really is no right size, some people will disagree and say "bigger is better", but it comes down to what you like as a driver, what makes you feel most comfertable. I run a 19mm when i bought it every one said "thats to small" and bla bla bla bla bla. I like it and i think if i went any bigger my *** end would kick out like a MO FLICKA. but this is my setup and what works for me
