I'm thinking about installing a rear sway bar on my 91 Dx hatch. Have any of you upgraded your oem Si rear sway for a Suspension Technique rear sway? Was it worth it? Just wondering if I should shell out the extra $ for the ST or not, or just pick up one from an Si.

 

aside from tires, upgrading your rear swaybar is the best mod you can do to improve handling.

 

Good point, but is the ST rear sway that much better than a stock Si?

 

22mm vs 15mm? yes.

besides, ST is made to adapt to your DX with its own hardware. youre going to spend more time and perhaps money trying to get the Si bar to install in your DX because you dont have the LCA and you dont have the threaded holes for the stock brackets.

 

Good clarification, didn't know the difference in diameter was that great

 

I agree with Tyson it would be a lot of work to get the SI one to bolt up since your car never had a rear bar. The ST bar is a well built easy install and it does make a huge difference. Plus it is adjustable so it gives you a little tunability.

 

it's worth the $.

Just get the rear one though. No front or HF front is the way to go.

well that depends. i needed to bump up my front swaybar since im using stock springs. but i used OEM options, civic sedans or DA front swaybars. so still, dont bother with paying for the front ST bar. the ST front swaybar is also 22m, thats just too much.

Thought it was 19mm? I will measure again next time im on the ground. i have both the ST front and rear sway bars and i have to say, my car feels damn good, hehe

 

will this fit with an apex ws2 exhaust?

 

the ST bar for the DA integra is 19mm. it MAY fit CRX's, but its supposed ot use the original hardware. actually, id really like to know if that works. because it would just be another tuning option.

the crx bar is definately 22mm.

A friend of mine has the WS exhaust on his EF Si hatch, not sure sure if its the I or II version, but it hits the stock Si bar. Apexi put the connection flange right at the spot where the piping intersects the bar. Dumb ***** over at Apexi

Tyson, I will get the O.D. measurement of the front sway bar off my car tomorrow.

 

yes definatly worth the cash
