Hi, I'm looking for some good sways where I can just pop them in without modifying my current stock suspension. I'm thinking about, either ST or Eibach Anti-Roll-Kits. But I'm leaning toward the Eibach just b/c they are a lot bigger than the ST. Eibach is 27mm front and /21 mm in the back. My other question is will my stock bushings fit these or do I need to buy a bushing kit?

I know a lot of ppl have type R sways (27mm / 23mm) but I heard I have to buy some other kind of kit to go with the sways just b/c they are soo big.

What do you guys think, ST or Eibach and where can I get them for a great deal. Summit sells the ST for 230 and Eibach is 280. Anyone know where I can get the Eibach cheaper??? Thanks for the help.

 

Ok why would you pay $280 when you can get the Type R rear sway for $120? The kit you are refering too is probably also included with the Eibach kit. The kit is used to make sure your subframe does not tear out. I am not sure about the size of a LS's front sway bar but I belive it is smaller then the GSR's??? I am sure someone knows!

I am not trying to flame you just saying my opinion beacuse I love my Type R rear sway w/ BSQ kit.

I've got that exact setup and it's really nice. It still rides great and the handling is impressive (with an experienced driver, of course). Combine that with some high performance tires (205/50-15 Falken Azenis on lightweight 15x6.5" rims) and it's amazing. I still want stiffer springs (H&R OE's; 3/4" drop and a bit stiffer than the Type-R) and a limited slip differential, but I don't have much motivation to get those since it already handles so well.

BTW, the 2000 and 2001 LS have the same 24mm front sway bar as the GS-R and Type-R, and that should include the nice ball joint endlinks. So all you really need is the Type-R rear sway bar and some strut bars. I got cheap generic strut bars and they work just fine; it's not worth paying big $$$ for strut bars, imo.

The 24mm front and 22mm rear sway bar setup is pretty good and what the Type-R uses. I wouldn't go any bigger than that unless it's for a full race car. There is such a thing as too big, and the consequences are more than just the oversteer/understeer balance.

 

I have Neus Speed sway bars and DC strut bars.. Pretty Nice for me

 

Can someone else verified if the front at 24mm?? I heard ppl saying they are 22mm. If they are then, I'm just going to upgrade to the type r rear like everyone says. Please let me know, thanks.

 

like weston stated, contrary to acura booklets, the front swaybar for 2000 and 2001 ls, and gs's is 24mm.

 

However, my 94 RS has a 22mm front swaybar. I am running the ITR rear swaybar at 22mm also. If I had the money, I would upgrade my front sway to the 24mm. With stock suspension and the ITR rear bar, the car likes to oversteer while autocrossing. A good suspension would help that out also but I don't have the cash to throw down quite yet

 

Aaron, the front sway bar does help neutralize the oversteer a bit. But, my car has never really rotated too much on me, so that's not why I got it. It helps the front traction problem that I was having. During that last autocross, the front tires were spinning pretty bad in the turns. Since I dont have a LSD, we all know that as soon as one wheel slips, it gets all of the engine's power. A little bit of body roll combined with the cold temps and the fact that Azenis don't like cold caused one wheel to have less traction than the other and spin like crazy. The new bar seems to help that problem, but I guess I'll know for sure next Sunday...
