Hey guys I remember reading in the past where people would install aftermarket sway bars without reinforcement and it would rip the sub frame where the LCA bolts onto


would installing a tie bar onto my coupe hurt it at all? I wouldn't want to risk tearing the sub frame


thanks

subframe tearouts are usually the result of swaybars.

eg6sir-s

i ran two setups with rear sway and tie bar combination(on my old 95si):

setup 1
suspension techniques rear sway(19mm) with jic-magic rear lower tie bar. the tie bar bolts on perfect with this setup.

setup 2
jdm itr rear sway bar(23mm) with beaks rear subframe reinforcement kit in addition i also used a beaks rear lower tie bar.

<U>the jic-magic rear lower tie had fitment issues with the beaks reinforcement kit.</U>

i think it's more of a problem on the EK's..not our gen civics..

tie bars do not cause subframe tearout.. it is caused by agressive sway bars mounted without reinforcement or with to soft of spring rates
