any mods wanna make this a sticky??

 

Nice write-up

Might wanna throw some Rustoleum on those cuts, its gonna start raining here like crazy lol

Got any brackets you wanna sell?

 

haha I am gonna finish cutting that hole and then shoot it with rustolemum.....im just broke as a joke right now.

If dont have any sadly. I found a site that carries them...let me dig it up and i will post it.

I am gonna try to make some spherical endlinks for the sway bars. a lot firmer than OEM rubber. and I wont make a HUGE margin of profit off of them either. Just like enough to cover the parts, some of my time, and then shipping. Im gonna try and start on them tomorrow.

 

Nice write up and technique apekd

Many people have created some ingenious ways to mount the rear sway bars on the dx/hf/std. The addition of a rear sway bar can make such a great improvement to the handling of the car.


The one in the FAQ, this guy welded and fabricated the factory rsb bracket and used the tow hook mounting bolts to secure it to the frame rail. (very similar to suspension techniques)

I have seen others who cut the wall of the frame rail to put bolts through.


I personally have the most ghetto method, but after several years of solid performance I am not concerned at all. I actually used the holes in the bottom of the frame rail as a guide, and drilled up into the upper edge of the frame rail and into the interior of the car. Then I ran the bolts down and used a metal plate to distribute the force over a wider surface area. It works great for my stock crx sway bar and urethane bushings.

 

^ thanks for the heads up.. I thought of doing that. but didnt want to hack up my interior metal to do it.

 

nice!

 

thanks man.

 

good write up, im thinking about putting a sway bar on my std hatch now. this should be stickied!!!

 

I agree. its the least invasive on the body. and doesnt leak moisture into the car like other ways do.

 

i added the link to this thread to the thread that is already stickied covering the same material. good job. a zoomed out pic with the bumper removed would be helpful. its not clear where youre cutting unless you already know the process.

 

thanks Tyson! Yeah I will get that tomorrow when I go back over there. Stayed at my folks's house tonigt. Missed my queen size been haha

 

GREAT!! now gimmy back my mounting brackets!! lol or find me a replacement set of si brackets. i don't want the da ones, i want to keep it all legit ef stuff.

 

I showed you the DA didnt fit. and those brackets wont come off lol I torqued them to 50 ft lbs to make sure it stayed. tried to get it off and when I saw i couldnt that why i asked for them lol durrr

 

well hurry up and get some new ones!! i wanna put my sway bar on damnit lol

 

lol well if you had patience (like me) then youll wait till i have money. still then, hold your horses

 

you know random banter doesnt make for a good informative FAQ/DIY....

 

ehhh it makes the thread more ehhhh entertaining for readers.

 

sorry mods can delete my posts. i'm just pissy right now

 

^ yes you are. now go to the corner till your in a better mood! NO PS2 FOR YOU!

 

not trying to hijack this thread but just want to know the difference between suspension technique, progress and stock from DA? is it the "bracket" location only or anything else?

i got brand new progress sitting in the garage and i will install it after the paint job.

 

no clue. I never looked in to swaybars till now. frankly I am looking at keeping a OEM EF swaybar and nothing more.

 

bump

 

were the new pics at and

 

Sways are going on my DX...
