Just wondering how to go about getting a rear sway bar for my HF CRX. It's mostly a daily driver, so I don't want to over do it, and get a super thick one that will just increase my chances of oversteer. I want one that would sort of emulate a CRX Si. Or if it's possible to just install an OEM CRX Si rear sway bar. I was looking at the progress rear sway bar, since I know it has all the hardware to install it ok the HF frame, but I have a feeling 24mm might be too much for a daily driver.

 

Some non Si chassis have the Si sway bar holes threaded.

Worth a check.

Otherwise just find an suspension techniques bar and bracket. They mount on the tow hook holes.

Progress also sells a rear sway bar and bracket. This mounts to the rear subframe.

I forget the name of the other company that bolts a big aluminum plate on....

 

Is their swaybar not too stiff for a daily driver? Or do you mean you can install just the bracket, and it's compatible with all other rear sway bars made for the CRX? I wouldn't mind my car being on the sporty side, but I will have to drive this car in the winter (but plan on eventually getting a daily car and making this into a project/ weekend car).

 

If you don't have one and want one, I would suggest just going with a stock one. Easy to get, easy to install, oem size bushings are available everywhere. Going to a aftermarket or larger diameter may be something you might not like for daily. Once a friend of mine did his supposed upgrade - some brand name aftermarket larger diameter bar, personally there was no real benefit for just driving around town. Fitment was not the greatest also it creaked a lot which was actually annoying to hear.
Money would be better spent on better shocks/struts and springs for handling you will like versus a questionable aftermarket sway bar.

 

If you do buy a rear sway bar that attaches to the subframe your gonna need a brace. Too large of a sway bar attached to the rear subframe can wreck havoc to the spot welds and separate

 

The suspension techniques bar works fine and shouldn't cause you to have too much oversteer. It has some adjustability, you can run it on the softest setting.

I am running one on the stiffest setting with an HF front bar for autocross and still have trouble getting it to rotate as much as I would like.
