Default EG rear sway bar.....any advice?

Hi there I was wondering if there is a very good rear sway bar for the EG CIVIC in production for this car? Down here we race something similar to World Challenge, as a matter of fact the 2 realtime DC2 integras are racing agaist us.
Any sugestions?

Best on the market I think!

The EG kit is now available just like the EK kits. You wont find better customer service either.

Had a 23mm type r rear sway bar on my first hatch.

Handled well and was an easy install. If you get the hardware used it shouldnt more than 150

Comptech 22mm rear bar/brace. You need to order the Integra model & use the 'teg lower arms.

Suspension Techniques also make a rear bar/brace combo. 7/8" (22.2mm).

Comptech, the originator, and still the best design.

the subframe brace is simply amazing....personally i think the 32 mm hollow is too big for an eg, as it is the eg is tail happy enough with just a 22mm itr bar....

With the a-spec reinforcement kit, are you still able to run rear lower tie bar. Or does the a-spec kit act like a tie bar too?

The ASR kit is a reinforcement brace, and lower tie bar all in one. Using a lower tie bar would be worthless!

Charleston offers two sizes of hollow bars for this kit, one being smaller then the 32. Remember that these are way hollow, their setup with great engineering.
The brace is amazing, and if you want, you can use it with ITR sway, or whatever you want. that is THE setup...

They are both 32mm OD. The only difference is the wall thickness

Its a great kit, but no engineering feat They use readily available circle track/nascar bits

I have the same bar and I love it. I also love the fact that it is adjustable and was cheaper than an ITR set up for me.

I didn't mean engineering feat, i meant design is great, and fitment is awsome. Its the little things like supplying textured end nuts so you dont have to counter hold them inside the subframe that make it such great quality. Install was a pleasure. Also keeps the sway bar spaced properly to avoid binding in the sway like the beaks kit does.
