an ek hatch has neither front nor rear sways. i have decided to go with the beak's reinforcement + itr rear sway combo for the rear, but i want to know wut should i do with the front? should i leave it blank? go with si front setup? front ex setup? gsr front setup? wut r the sizes? wut parts will i need to make a swap?? anyone have anything for sale/know where i can get something? all relevant posts will be appreciated.

cheers!

 

Si front. Same as the CTR. You'll need the Si front LCA's though. And forks too I think. The Si is 26mm I believe.

 

i'm not running anything in the front right now. but i have the beaks kit on my ek and it feels great. wil is a real good seller with excelent customer service.

 

i am running suspension tech, nice kit! nice price! car handles awsome! eric

 

Get the si front, it makes a world of difference. Parts needed for the si front sway are the bar, bushings, d-brackets, forks, LCAs and any misc. bolts you dont have to mount it.

 

Funny you should ask this question since I had an Si 26mm front bar installed on my EK hatch last night. Up til then I was running the Beaks/ITR rear setup. With just the Beaks/ITR rear bar, it made a world of difference over just shocks/springs (Tein SS's). Turn-in was a lot crisper and it didn't wallow as much in the turns over rough surfaces.

Now with the addition of the Si front bar (which requires Si front LCA's and shock forks), turn-in is a little crisper but the front end just feels planted and solid as a rock. Before with just the rear bar, you could actually tell that the back end was doing all the work, especially when loading up the chassis in a hard turn. Sometimes I'd exceed the limit of the back end, and it would start sliding out, but it wasn't too bad. I really haven't had time to test out the limits of the car with the front and rear bar though. I have a feeling I'm in for some understeer though.

You might want to forego the Si bar and get the slightly smaller EX bar (requires EX LCA's and shock forks too though) so that you can dial out some of the understeer. But the Si front LCA's are definately lighter than the cast iron pieces of the DX and EX.

do you recall exactly wut parts i need to get to put that si front sway on the dx hatch? i am seriously into getting one and need to know wut i need to get it done right.

 

 

Where can I get the Beaks/ITR rear combo? I already have an SI front (just need the rest of the parts to put it on). Thanks.
