Sway bar, tie bar combo
I have the Skunk rear lower tie bar and i'd like to add a rear sway bar (Skunk2 most likely or ST) as well but so far i'm noticing that sway bar pics i've seen look like they interfere with a lower tie bar (even before a beaks kit is used)
just wodering if anyoe has a tiie bar and sway bar from separate companies. i know the comptech combo i've rerad is best but i'd have to buy GSR or Del Sol VTEC rear LCAs to make it work on my EG.
i was reading a past post about subframes being torn out and i was going to get the hbeaks kit but it sits almost right next to the LCA bolt where my Skunkw bar mounts up to (see pics below)
beaks mounting point:
ST sway bar mounting point:
Skunk2 tie bar mounting point:
to me it looks like i either get the Comptech cet-up if i want a tie and sway bar otherwiose i have to settle for one or the other. **EDIT** the Spoon rear lower tie looks like it's designed to clear the sway bar mounting points on the EG chassis but I can't find a pic of one actually on an EG, they just show ones for the EK
LOL help
P.S. i've also been readin that thebeaks kit still rips out. any truth to this on the EG HBs?

Re: Sway bar, tie bar combo (519RACING)
i would go progress...thats what my EJ and my friends Si ride on..here's a shot of mine:
lovin it, but i guess a tie-bar would not work w/ it... one advantage, tho is that they use brackets that drop the sway bar lower than factory mounts...helps w/ clearing the exhaust piping on my hatch!

I don't know why people even bother with those tie bars anyway. Just more bling for people's headlights to shine off I guess.
Do it right and go Comptech.
