looking to drop the front sway bar size a bit to the Integra LS one. anyone know if this is a easy install?

 

its as easy as any other front sway bar install...... just be sure to get the smaller bushings for the smaller sway bar

 

is there anything in the way since my motor and everything is still there? i heard theres alot of crap to unbolt.

 

Downgrade by unbolting one of the endlinks. You will love the handling then.

 

Your header will be the only thing that kind of gets in your way, doesn't have to be unbolted though.

 

I'll trade you my LS one for your R!

Why? Goodness do you realize what it would do to your handling (Assuming your rear bar is stock)? You would have a crap load of UNDERSTEER.

Good advice!! Cost nothing except 5min of your time.

why unbolt one of them? so it will feel like it's not on there?

 

Precisely...

Well, you know what they say about assuming. I have a 23mm ITR rear sway with an ASR rear subframe brace.


Ok I'm joking, as I was about trading. I know what the consequences of upgrading the front and not the rear sway bar are, and I couldn't handle that haha.

 

Just be REAL careful when undoing the front sway.... On my ITR (800lbF/950lbR springs), the car is relatively stable for a highly sprung car.... I finally unbolted the front sway. Things were going very well, until one heavy braking in a turn. I must of had the car slightly turned and I immediately went sideways and flatspotted my tires. Luckily no damage except tires.

Basically, what I am saying is that for the street, no front bar may be a little dangerous. So your original thought of a LS bar may be better.

 

what size is the front sway bar on the type rs?

i think GSR and ITR's are 24 and stock integra is 21? i believe the civic are like 17 or 19? not to sure tho.

so, im guessing that a thinner front sway bar will help the turn in, ie increase the amount of oversteer? Sorry, i been out of the honda scene for 3 years...

 

you should just get a thicker one for the back

 

might get the JDM sway bar. it's a 1mm upgrade.

FWIW. For 2001 at least, the LS, GS (mine), and GS-R front sways were all 24mm.

I put a post up a couple months back about the front bar...I have LS front and Stock ITR rear.

Running Skunk 2 coilovers.......hope to get some PIC's for the car 12k/14k to help rotate.

I'll make an update, but i have not felt a big differance with front 22mm.
