I did some searching but to no avail. Does the Civic DX have stock front or rear swaybars?

I know the Std has none, and the Si has both. But does the DX have any?

 

My CRX DX didn't, I doubt the Civic DX did.

 

DX has a front swaybar, but no rear. I just installed an Si rear bar on my DX today

Hmmm...

Would this be worth installing on my Std.?

Is it a direct bolt-on?

exaclty correct.....i would think the biggest benifit would come from installing a good pair of aftermarket bars like ST like i have on my CRX...BIG difference.

yes and no, you have to take the stock si mounts and weld them to plate that bolts onto where the rear tow hooks are.

 

weird...my first dx had a front sway bar and my second did not

I am talking about the DX front swaybar.

1) Is it even worth grabbing?
2) Is it a direct bolt-on?

 

oh my bad.
1) yes and the dx/si front sway is 18mm
2) yes https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1436632
i hope that helps

 

Would I even notice a diff. in handling with just the DX front sway bar?

 

the front DX 3dr Hatch/CRX swaybar is the SAME as the Si 3dr Hatch/CRX bar, 18mm.

sedans had 19mm front swaybars.

no car other than the Si's, civic and CRX, had a REAR swaybar, and the chassis mountings for it.

civic STD hatch did not come with any front swaybar.

crx HF came with a smaller, hollow front swaybar.

installing a rear swaybar, of any thickness, will make a difference for the better.


here's a thread on what someone else alluded to mounting a Si or DA rear swaybar into a non Si chassis.

Would the front bar from a DX/Si be a direct swap for a HF?

yes. just need the bushings that are sized with it.

even a DA front swaybar will work. its 23mm hollow.

 

So, would I really notice a diff. with the DX front sway?

 

from NO front sway to 18mm front sway? yes.

i noticed a difference going from 18mm to 19mm in the front.

Hmm... cool. I may go thru the trouble of snagging it then.
