Default All you suspension guys...

Alright so i have a 91 civic Si and from what i found when i searched... i have an 18mm front sway bar and a 15mm rear sway bar, is that correct?? i want to invest money into sway bars. you guys have any suggestions?? I already got the energy suspension bushings for the front cause it seems like just getting a bigger rear is the thing to do?? not sure though. Thanks in advance

All you need is the rear bar, if you plan to track or drive very agressively. If you do a lot of street driving, not too agressive and just want a balanced car, you could do a f/r combo and be pretty happy.

Personally, I would recommend the Neuspeed bar, as it uses all oem mounts and no adapter brackets. But the ST is cheaper.

What is your intended purpose with the car? We would need to know that before any real advice can be given more than the obvious.

um, wrenches are oversized to fit. they are not measuring devices.

look at your bushings. they will have the size embossed on them. at least the rear ones.

i have a ST rear bar on my crx. with stock front sway bar with agx shocks polly bushings and Fal Azinas with a honda dealer alignment. I think it can outhandle my driving skill to the point that it scares me. I also have 10k into the drivetrain so the lsd probably helps. This comming from a 30 year old with lots of track experience, someone who daily drove their 70000.00, 500 (or so depending on the day)whp saleen as a daily driver for years.

Ive had 2 crxs and have 2 more in the driveway as roomates cars.

But thats just my opinion. research why on all your parts. you can build a car to suit the driver or just build a car that someone said would be cool
