Im gonna be installing an ITR rear sway bar with the asr subframe reinforcement brace (http://www.a-spec-racing.com) soon. I was looking up the parts for the rear ITR bar and was wondering if I need to get these brackets #12, #13 in the pic when I installing that setup. I used this page to get the part #s but it doesnt list those brackets http://geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html

 

Hello,

To complete the installation using the A-Spec Racing Brace you need the following parts from Acura.

1 pc. swaybar #5
2pcs bushing #10
2pcs. bracket #7
4pcs collar #8
2pcs arm bushing #11
2pcs end link #6
2pcs bolt and washer #30, #37 and #40

If you can get the above parts for less than $160, then you are getting a better deal. If not, paying $340 for the complete kit from ASR is more hassle free. You can also try to get a used one from the classifieds for about 100 bucks.

Thanks alot. From the dealer its about $115 shipped for all those parts. Would it be ok to run the rear ITR and front EX/SI stock sway bar? Or should I upgrade to something thicker like the GSR.

 

Wow! That is a very good deal, do you need to have an account with that dealer to get that deal or just a walk in customer? Please tell us which dealership and who to contact. Thanks.

As for your front swaybar, the stock EX or Si one will do just fine. I ran my civic before with stock 22mm front and 22mm rear and it handled good with no snap oversteer.

Actually http://www.acuraparts247.com/s...e.jsp and http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/jsp/home.jsp both sell oem parts and ship. Thanks for the info I think im gonna run the stock ex/si bar up front which is 21 mm and the 22mm ITR .

 

Thank you for the link!

I just checked http://www.acuraparts247.com and with all the parts charlston suggested, minus the 4 #8 bushings (they don't list them) it came to:

$142.68

http://www.acuraoemparts.com was:

$136.28

And you still need the 4 #8's

 

I'm guessing any acura dealer would carry those #8's... correct.

 

I actually got the total of $115 from using the list on this site http://www.geocities.com/bretq....html , #8 I think cant be replaced by #46.

those prices he listed are from last year. Sunnyvale acura has raised their prices since then. I think #8's are reusable from stock, correct? Can somebody confirm this?

 

The #8s are called collar inserts for the roll bar arm bushing. Honda/Acura used to only require 1 on each arm because they are longer as seen on the picture. But they changed it to 2 smaller ones, that is why now you need 4 of them.

The collars are redesigned to have a little taper towards the bushing for a snug fit and keeps the bushing material from rubbing the endlinks. for Honda for the price

Thanks for looking it up nonsense, the inner collars #8 on the illustration PN 52312-ST7-Z00 has a list price of $5.37 each and you need 4 of them. That brings up a total of $157.76 if you purchase from acuraoemparts.com plus shipping.

I guess I was right.

Sorry for the mixup on the total prices, I wasnt including the endlinks since they came attached to the gsr rear lca I picked up. btw http://www.acuraoemparts.com charges less for shipping.

sorry for the, back from the dead bump...so im trying to piece my kit together but wanna get it to work for the cheapest price so once i get my asr brace, can i just get number 5, 10, 7, 27, and will the blox adjustable endlinks work than getting oem ones?? cause it seems to total up cheaper...is there anything else i would need once i get this??

bump to question above^^

 

The blox endlinks should work and come with everything you need to install. Make should you get the little spacer that eliminate the factory bushing. Oh and your asr kit should come with the bolts you need for the d clamps. So no #27. lol

 

The si endlinks wont fit through the bushing collars

 

bump to a few more questions....so i just got the r-crew subframe brace but it didnt come with any bolts to bolt on to the frame...what bolts do i use for that?? any part number?? thanks

 

8 52312-SE0-000 COLLAR, STABILIZER BUSH END (INNER) 2 $1.79

That's from Carland Acura, only 2 collars are required. If you have a stock GS-R swaybar you can use your original ones.

You can also use stock end links if you stay with OEM LCA's or ones with correct end link hole location like Function7 arms.

 

what about my question above^^^ =p...need to order parts asap for my 97 coupe
