i need information asap.
i have 88 crx hf
i just got a used neuspeed front sway bar, it still looking good, endlink bushings and subframe bushings still look new,
my problem is when i try to mount the subrame bushing, i can not use my original subframe bushing mounting clamps since they're too small for neuspeed bushing ( neuspeed sway bar is 22mm way more fat than the 88 hf sway bar and it doesn't come with subrame bushing mounting clamps).
is there any substitude mounting clamp i can use? maybe from different hondas ?
i've check with the universal subframe bushing mounting clamp from ES, but they're different (both side use bolts to mount the clamp), while on crx hf subframe, each side of clamp has different style of mount. One end used the 14mm hex bolt and the other end has just like a hook where u connect the clamp to subframe.

pls help.
Thanks in advance.

 

I don't understand why you took the HF bar off to begin with. That is the sway bar of choice for a lot of people that race CRX's.

 

well, i got it for $55 (i checked, price brand new around $250 +), so i just take it since it look very clean even the bushings look new.
dont know if people who race an hf use its stock front sway bar.
mind if i ask why?
i noticed the weight for neuspeed swaybar is way heavier than stock hf (i can p/u stock hf swaybar with my left pinky lol)
but i thought the neuspeed's is stronger. i have no clue.
so what is ur sugestion? should i install the hf stock swaybar back?
for now i use the car for DD mostly on weekend though, but it'll be tracked, soon i have my motor done.

 

cheap as it was, dont install it. you spent $55 and will make your handling worse, unresponsive and pushy.

ppl like the HF bar, weaker than the normal DX/Si bar, because thats the direction you go for better handling on a FWD car. not making it stiffer. quite frankly, i resell HF swaybars for $100 because they are so in demand. its normal to have it sold within 30 minutes of posting.

adding parts to your car doesnt mean its better, no matter what the savings.

but if you still insist and want to experience the difference, try using integra DA 90-93 front swybar bushings. theyre 23mm, but they should still work and fit.

 

never heard about it before,
for sure i'll put back my old hf swaybar, maybe i just get new endlink and subframe bushing.
do yo know what company make bushing for hf front swaybar?

again, thanks for all the info

 

no one makes a 17.2mm bushing.

18mm is the closest available. same size as the DX, Si.
