hello, i know that this question was prolly asked before but i need to know for sure before i purchase the items. i need to know if anyone used the st sway bars for ek hatch 98. i noticed that the f/r have same sized bars but will this help handling at all? and i want to mate the st bars to a asr brace in the back becuase i know how weak the subframe in the rear is. but i was wondering if any drilling is needed to put on the st sways and the asr brace together. any info appreciated but i would prefer some one that
actually experienced this first hand to msg back or pm me. and sorry again if i asked a question that was answered before. im a noob at this. thanks again lates.

 

in the ST catalog the front is 24mm and the rear is 19mm for an ek

guessing that you dont have a stock rear and are still on the stock 22 front, this is going to give you noticeable flatter cornering andmuch more stability in the corners. its not going to give you a perfectly balanced setup, you will still understeer quite a bit but not nearly ot the extent your car would be now.

as for an asr brace, 19mm is generally the cutoff point for needing subframe reinforcement, anything 19 and above you should have at least a beaks kit. if you drive the car really hard then i would definitely get some sort of reinforcement and the asr will be great especially if you think you may have plans to upgrade sway bars at some point in the future.

i havent used this kit so this is all theoretical from using comparable products,
if you have any other questions the
suspension forum is a great help-> https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=54

good luck

thanks dude youve been very helpful ...any one that has used this please respond i really need to know if everything aligns becuase i noticed that the st says you need to drill holes in the subframe inorder for the holes to match but if thats the case will it line up with the asr? thanks in advance

i am using them right now, i am really happy with the set up. You just to have drill 4 holes in your rear subframe to mount the swaybar
