Plan on picking up a rear strut bar, is 45mm ok for it? Is that too thick, not enough or???

 

haha

45mm is freaking huge

i am sure it is most likely hollow

the real time integras use that thick of a rear sway bar

but the location of where it mounts to the suspension is different. and the route of where it goises is way different. the rtr teg's run it through the back of the trunk. not under the trunk like all street cars

you will have to modify a ton of stuff to get it to fit and work properly.

what are you trying to accomplish?

if you do go the 45mm route, you will need
-beefy front sway bar
-roll bar/cage for chassis re-inforcement
-800-1100 lb spring rates for your coilovers
-the ability to know how to handle one mean *** suspension setup

 

1"= 25.4mm

so 45mm = roughly 1.77"

 

Damn, sounds pretty sweet. Be careful.

Not a bad price.

I prefer bars without pivot points.

 

would the bar be the bomz one off groupbuycenter? the link doesnt work.
I got myself their front and rear strut bars... solid peices.

 

strongest part of that whole thing is the smallest part... those little screw things that make it adjustable are probably very thin (not doubting their strength, but appear less than 14mm) Nice looking bar, but i'd prefer a cusco or similar brand/quality of construction myself

 

i think he was asking about the rear strut bars... not sure how thickness of sway bars got into this?

edit, im an idiot

 

why is this bar rare? I like mine well done. hehe

I have this front strut bar on my Nissan Maxima. Its solid. I havent considered a rear strut bar for my integra yet because i need my trunk space. Love having the huge trunk when the seats are down. Is it really worth getting in the rear? I dont see as much flex coming from the rear as I would in the front.

Your thoughts?

 

the bar made my rear a little tighter, but not a huge improvement. But for 20 dollars i think it was worth it.

 

lol Yeah, I know, I notice it after I hit post........rare...I mean rear......must of been hungry when I was typing this up.

So for $20, this isn't bad right guys? Guess I'll pick up one. I have a 4-door gsr, so the back needs to be stiffen up a little.
