Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade the rear lower sway bar. My main concern is clearance of my 3" exhaust is there any large diameter bars that have better clearance in that area than others??

Would pics or measurements help at all?

Im looking for options on which bars would fit and which people would recomend. If it fits with stock piping is one thing, but the 3" take up alot of room and I would hate to have it not fit come install time.

 

I should probably mention the car is a 89 Crx si with factory rear sway bar and my exhaust clears that fine, so maybe there is a best style that is routed like stock?

I also have stock control arms

 

bump, want to buy!

 

nobody loves lower rear bars anymore?

 

I had similar problems but not with as big as a pipe. I resolved it by using one mounting bracket from a da on the left and a civic is bracket on the right. Might have different mounting holes on the Rex vs civic but who knows might help.

 

look up ST sway bar. mounts replace your tow hooks, and mounts up almost like the stock one.

 

After researching I see alot of thread of people having interfrence with aftermarket exhaust with the ST

 

only other route would be a asr plate/sway bar

 

Only other option?

What makes the ASR combo clear my exhaust more than others

 

only suggest it because of where it mounts, at your rear subframe. it should clear your exhaust pipe, but that's still subjective. because i don't know how much of a clearance you have with the pipe going over your control arm.

here's a pic, for reference.


**** mind taking a pic of the exhaust on your car, and how much clearance you have around the lca.

 

Thats a nice setup but much more than I am looking to upgrade. I think it would be much simpler and more in my budget to find a bar that is routed and mounted like stock, just beefier, and hopefully including endlinks to attach to my stock control arms

 

friend of mine has a 3" Thermal exhaust with a ST 22mm rear sway bar. so you should have no problems with your kteller.

 

Do most bars come with endlinks for stock control arms?

 

ST bars aparently have bad exhaust clearance

Are any bars known for GOOD exhaust clearance? and take the stock path

 

anybody?
