Looking for other Gen 1 Integra Road Racers (Torsion Bar Questions)
Looking for some good concrete information concerning Torsion Bars. Either swapping torque tubes from a gen 1 CRX, or using aftermarket Integra bars (Lightspeed). Need advice as well as possible spring rates. I am currently running stock bars, GC coil-overs and Tokico's at all four corners. I have a major problem with the ft. suspension bottoming out. I can pick the rear tire up as much as 10 inches in any given turn. If I stiffen the ft shocks the car wont turn at all (i have the video to prove it). I'm figuring on finding a set of 23-25mm bars (to keep the ft. somewhat soft) and setting the rear shocks on full stiff so I have the right roll cuople distribution. Any and all advice welcome!

Thanks.

You may wanna checkout g1teg.org
As for swapping torsion bars, OPM sells some CRX bars. However, you have to use the CRX tubes and relocate the rearmost tube mount which is illegal in some autocross classes. Not sure about RR classes. Lightspeed also sells some Teg specific 24.5mm bars. Anyway, search the archives on g1teg forums, the topic has been covered ad-nauseum...
You can also try PMing 1gTeg90 on here as he races a g1 in the EC Honda Challenge. Maybe he'll chime in on this thread.

I have a pair of brand new, 27.5 mm Lightspeed Torsion bars for Integra. Selling for $150. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks.

Those 23-25 are too small, get the above 27.5mm at a minimum, or OPM will sometimes have some 29mm bars (which are the largest you can run) get the 29s if you can.
