Default tie bar question

well i wanted to get the dc sports rear lower tie bar to spice up my suspension a little but its discontinued. DC says that the bar will fit 90-01 Acura Integra,
97-01 Acura Integra Type-R, 88-95 Honda Civic, 88-91 Honda CRX, 94-97 Honda Del Sol.

So since that one is discontined i was looking at the benen industries bar for the eg model.

what im wondering is if the eg benen bar will work on an ef.

Your post is confusing

First you say that it is "discontinued" Then you say "DC Says that the bar will fit 90-01 Integra, ITR, 88-95 Civic, 88-91 CRX, 94-94 del slow"

So doesn't that mean right there it will be in stock. I find it a little hard to believe that with them listing vehicles that are 6 years old this part has been discontinued. It maybe I just think it is weird.


Anyways, why not just go with Skunk2 http://www.skunk2.com/Suspensi...d=LAB

Also, the EG and EF lower bars can be swapped.

FYI if you look on Skunk2's site there bars says 88-95 Civic. Means everyones is going to be the same year spread.

I have used an EG/DC tiebar on my old EF3 and it worked fine
However for my EF9, I have managed to get some EG6 Tein coilovers at a good price and will be running the EG front forks and rear LCA's. Just wondering why no-one who converts their EF rear supension set-up to EG uses aftermarket EG LCA's (Ie Skunk2), all the builds I have seen use OEM ones?
