91 si w/o rear sway bar?
so im planning to purchase some new lca's. most likely from blox even though i hear garbage about them. ill end up swapping bushings later. i've read that when i install the blox lca's my stock sway bar endlinks wont line up properly or something? i dont really understand this. and if it doesnt work, whats the effect of taking the oem rear sway off?
The front and rear sway bars are supposed to keep the car in a straight path. Without the sway bar, the car is going to be a little jerky and/or "Sway" from side to side, thus the name "Sway Bar". I dont know and I dont suppose it would dangerous to drive without it, but I dont suggest that u take it off. Keep it on till u replace it.
alright thanks for the info. im not gonna get blox anymore. im just going to get function 7 lca because i hear they have the sway bar endlink hole in the right place. so i guess its a direct replacement.

if you seriously think the sway bars job is to keep the car from " sway"ing from side to side in a straight path i think you should stop posting advice....sway bars are ment for stability in cornering...read up:

I have never heard of howstuffworks.com. I'm definitely going to start using that. Very Informational thanks for the website even tho it wasnt for that purpose...lol!!!
Of course you can run without a sway bar. Its an optional suspension component.
But you should try to keep it as it does help with stability under extreme conditions, helps to fight body roll and snap oversteer.

Of course its supposed to keep stability in cornering, but what i have read in a couple articles "Trying to read up on knowledge"...that thats not the only purpose of a sway bar...as a matter of fact exactly what I said in my first post, is what the article said from actual honda techs...so if they are wrong then I'm better off finding out my ***m self right?!
You can counteract the effect of not having a swaybar by upping your spring rates a bit, but I've never driven a CRX without a rear bar, so I don't know what you'll be in for....
