Default Anyone running Skunk2 swaybar on 6th Gen Civic.....

and did NOT need any kind of brackets welded for extra support to prevent subframe tearout? I know some bars have this problem and some don't. I plan on installing mine tomorrow. How long have you been running the bar?

BTW it is 21mm.

Thanks,
Miguel

Why would you get it welded when you can just buy a Beaks kit.......

Isn't that meant for a different sized bar? What would I need to make it work? Anyone?

It's not necessarly (sp?) meant for a different sized bar, but for different sized D- brackets (ITR SSO D-bracket). If you use a D-bracket w/ slotted ends it will work just the same......

i have this bar on my 6th gen coupe

no problems with it so far. i ran one track day with it, and have daily driven the car for 2 month now with it on....

only one thing the bolts came loose on one of the mounting points must be cause we didnt torque them well? idk

but its all good so far

be careful because i know people who ran the neuspeed 19mm swaybar and the CTR swaybar and they tore their subframe. i think the best way to prevent tearing is to run the comptech swaybar/tie bar combo IMO.
