This is for a 92 hatch with gc/konis already. Rates are 350f/400r. So which do you guys recommend?

I know a popular one is the type r, but how do ST or other brands compare?

Thanks for the help.

backorder last time I checked

dont forget a GODD reinforcement kit

 

he has no front bar Dr.Cortez. Some one reccomend a good front bar for him, I am personally gonna use the GSR/ITR 24mm Front and Type-R 22mm Rear.

 

he didnt say what model hatch , I said "stock front" meaning stock civic bar

I dont like the 24mm front bar , it induces understeer IMHO

22mm front bar - NO bigger.

 

Yah I want to test it out at VIR - maybe when funds are availble. For now its just trial and error I guess...

 

civic bar = cheap

35 beans used.

 

Cant say enough about my Comptech 22 mil rear sway/tie combo.

 

If you can't find a stock ITR one, you can always go with a Skunk2 rear sway. Same thing as ITR. Love mine with the Beaks kit.

 

I have a dx. do they make a mugen 26mm for my car? havent looked, but mated with a gsr front, should make a good combo?

Thanks....Mike

 

Take your choice. I am using Neuspeed on the rear of the Prelude, ST on the Civic HB (F&R) and ADDCO on the CRX rear. Given a choice and best bang for my $$$ I would look at ADDCO (available direct or from Summit) or Neuspeed (even if they are more $$$). The ST bars are generally used in sets BTW.

 

well, my set-up is slightly stiffer than yours, but I run ST bars front and rear (25mm front, 19mm rear ) with konis and GC's 450#/500# springs. works exceptionally well. course, if you've never driven an oversteering car you may not like it, I moved to my integra after 3 years running a 99 Cobra in ESP, so having a car that tends to oversteer is what I'm used to/comfortable with.

 

i run a stock civic front bar (21mm???) with a mugen 26mm rear bar. nice........

 

ST front and rear for about 245 from summit. works great.

 

can someone oversimplify these options?

Large front bar & Large rear bar = ?

Large front bar and Small rear bar = ?

Small front bar and Large rear bar = ?

Small front bar and Small rear bar = ?

which would you recommend for Ground control coilover w/ stock shocks on a civic hatch?

wow, back from the dead....

Now im answering this from a hypothetical stand point. The spring rates, shock setting, tire pressures, etc, can greatly change how the car handles, regardless of the sway bars.


Large front bar & Large rear bar = more neutral

Large front bar and Small rear bar = might tend to understeer

Small front bar and Large rear bar = probably tend to oversteer

Small front bar and Small rear bar = again, probably more neutral

just front = understeer more

just rear = oversteer more

Again, this depends on how your car is set up, and can vary greatly from set-up to set-up. But for the most part, thats how those combos should effect the cars handling.

thanks for the fast response, yea i didn't feel like being torn into for asking a question that was already asked so i brought one back from the archives.

today when i went auto-xing for the first time, i understeered quite a bit, it may have been because of 1) driving experience 2) mediocre front tires, but i was hoping a sway bar set-up could also help. so would you recommend, possibly equal front and rears or just a rear to reduce understeer?

 

Get the ITR bar at a discount retailer like http://www.ahmotor.com, it'll cost a lot less than the dealer.

I thought the Skunk2 was 21mm vs. the ITR 22mm unless they changed it again.
