I am running a GSR 24mm front sway with my ITR 22mm rear sway on my EG hatch.

 

how does it handle, anything special that you need for the install??

 

Handles pretty well. I need to get new struts though. You'll need 94-01 Integra front lower control arms, front sway bar, sway bar bushings, and d-brackets. Depending on the front sway bar, you'll need either the L-shaped or I-shaped endlinks.

 

I alreadsy have the control arms with the sway bar hole in them, can i just go to a dealer and get the, sway bar ,bushings and d brackets??

 

Yes, you'll need:

51300-ST7-003 SPRING, FR. (24MM) [QTY: 1]
51306-ST7-000 BUSH (24MM) [QTY: 2]
51308-SR3-000 HOLDER, R. FR. [QTY: 2]
94050-08080 NUT, FLANGE (8MM) [QTY: 2]
95701-08016-08 BOLT, FLANGE (8X16) [QTY: 2]
51320-ST7-003 LINK, FR. STABILIZER [QTY: 2]
51312-SR3-000 RUBBER [QTY: 4]
90212-SA5-003 NUT (10MM) [QTY: 2]
90362-SF1-003 NUT, SELF-LOCK (8MM) [QTY: 2]

 

i wouldnt go with anything aftermarket. its probably too big. and you can get a lesser sized front swaybar from the junkyard off another car.

which car? i dunno. i dont know EG's and interchangeability, other htna looking itno whats available for DC's.

and you havent mentioned what springs youre using.

 

so i should look in the bone yard for a sway bar, or just go to the dealer and get a new one? 8k rear 10k front. do you think 24mm is to big?

 

i dont see a problem with a junkyard swaybar if it has no indication of damage.

honestly, i dont know about EG's. i certainly wouldnt put a 24mm front swaybar on my crx. but its bent differently. so it may not be comparable. and it may be hollow. i dont think any typical aftermarket swaybars are hollow.

you have to just try it out and see if you like it better. jumping to whats the biggest step, like probably a solid aftermarket bar, would not be the best step to take, since its probably the most expensive.

 

cool thanks for all your help!!!

 

need some help if you guys are still there, i cant seem to mount the bar it wont line up with the d-bracket //

 

Mount the endlink first but do not tighten the endlink. Then work on the d-bracket.

 

huh, i would suggest the opposite.

first D bracket and bushing. then endlinks.

whatever works.

I mounted the endlink first to the LCA, then the d-bracket. Much easier for me.

 

do you have to take the cat off first, cant seem to get the bar close to mount the d-brackets?looks like the only way?? cant find my helm for a diagram!!

I unbolted the exhaust from the header and I unbolted the shift linkage/stabilizer. Then I squeezed the bar through. Is your bar facing the correct way?

 

it seems to be,i just have to take my cat off and it looks like it will slide right in, i think

 

Take it off, it's only like 2-3 more bolts. If it will make it much easier, then take it off.

 

too bad for you guys. i can take my EF and DA front swaybar off without removing anything like the exhaust or shift linkage.

 

you lucky dog!!!

 

hey guys do you go with the L shaped endlinks or the straight ones??

 

All the 24mm front sway bars use the L-shaped endlink
