Default skunk2 sway install pics, 6th gen

just installed a skunk2 sway bar on my 96 civic coupe, and wanted to share some install pics with you. it was a pretty simple bolt-on affair, and looks pretty hot with the kyb's i had put in too.


there were two brackets left over, that i was told was for 5th gen civics. i had the shop, inlinefour put those brackets behind the subframe, like other reinforcement plates out there, to avoid the bolts form tearing through.




between the ground controls w/ agx's, sway bar and neuspeed tie bar, the rear feels rock solid. hard to say whether it was the sway bar and/or the agx that make the difference (i had the tie bar and tokicos n/a before) but difference is totally noticeable. i highly recommend both.

interested in other's experiences, good or bad. any tear-out's with/without
reinforcement plates?

here's a rear shot.



best part is, you can only see it if you get down on the ground - you couldn't tell it was there if you were driving behind me. theft sucks.

got the swaybar at inlinefour (they do mailorder as well) for $137, +/-.
thanks for the kind words.

i may go with geocities, just too lazy.

anybody have any horror stories with skunk sway bars? anything else i can do to prevent it ripping out?
