I am looking to get some stiffer sway bars for my 95 Teg LS but I am not sure if Type R bars will fit? Which end links would I need? If these wont fit what stiffer aftermarket bars would be good to get a near stock balance?

 

You'll need bigger sway bar links up front (GSR or ITR), and you'll definitely need some sort of brace in the back. Think ASR or BEAKS. You don't weant the subframe to tear out...

However, I have a Progress rear sway bar in the back (22mm) and it doesn't require a brace, since it doesn't mount up exactly the same as stock. It DOESN'T require any further modification though, and because it mounts up differently the stiffness of the bar is comparable to the stiffness of thicker bars.

 

I could be wrong, but you can just use a BSQ kit instead of one of the fancier kits on an integra.

From all the old posts i've read, no one has had problems with it, and people have been running them before the ASR braces and all those tie bars were created. And unlike the civic, the integra was designed to have rear sway bars. Its just there are no mounting locations for the ITR brackets.

 

Is that true? Why cant you simply mount the bushings in the same place as the stock bar?

 

The stock bar uses brackets that space the bar out away from the subframe. If you put a larger bar on these brackets, there will be increased torque loading put on the points where the brackets mount to the subframe. By mounting the bar directly to the subframe and reinforcing that area around the mounts using a mount kit, you eliminate the possibility of the mounts tearing out.

I've had an ITR bar w/ Beaks kit on my car for nearly 5 years, and I used a BSQ kit for a couple of years before that, and I've never had any problems whatsoever. I also use the factory original GS-R end links (bolts up perfectly) and stock LCA's.
