Default Sway Bar Options

Anyone have any suggestions on a Sway Bar for a 1997 DX hatch?

Stock em1 sway bar requires no subframe brace

Larger ones will require the brace so the subframe wont tear out

Whats your budget?

Really you can look up sway bars that will fit your car, if you have the cash, buy it!

I have an ACR subframe reinforcement brace, SPC adjustable upper control arms, front and rear, Buddy Club rear LCAs, and Energy Suspension master bushing set. price is not that important. Just trying to see what everyone's opinion is on brands. Thanks!

Do you mean ASR subframe brace?
They also make swaybars too

Yes, I meant ASR. Does anyone have the ASR 32mm hollow wall sway bar?

For what? Are you tracking it? You like oversteer?

You need to do a lot of research.

Do you have a front sway bar already? What are the current spring rates? Plans for the car? Last buy not least, what tires?

A 32mm hollow swaybar is for a dedicated track car, practically.

What kind of racing are you doing? How much oversteer do you want?

22mm is pretty much the standard, but for a street car I'd honestly recommend 17-19mm

I concur with that Dr.
I think the OP needs to educate himself before he buys something that he doesnt need.
Know what a sway does on both front and rear.

Those big ones are way too much for street use.
Most confuse bigger with better and if the race cars have it they should too.
Kind of like Takata harnesses LOL.
