Does anybody here have this setup? How does you car feel? I'm thinking about getting a Civic Si rear swaybar, but I'm not sure if I should keep my front swaybar setup or get the Civic Si front LCAs, forks, and swaybar. If I keep my current front setup, would I get more neutral handling due to the smaller front bar from my EX? I guess if I get the Si front swaybar, then I would get more understeer but less body roll. I have a Civic EX with an SOHC engine. Thanks!

 

I thought the rear si bar was bigger than 13mm?? Sorry i can't help ya.

 

I would first experiment with a thicker rear anti-sway bar to the tune of 19+ mm and then work from there. Too many changes will make it difficult for you to diagnose any problems (ie. understeer/oversteer, improper handeling) that might occur.

Any EX owners here with Civic Si rear swaybars? Please post and let me know about how your car handles. Would it oversteer/understeer or is it about neutral? Does the car lean a lot through a turn? I'm not interested in getting a large rear swaybar because I don't want to drill holes for a Beaks kit.

 

I ran that set up on my hatch for about 2 years. It was nice. Not like go cart flat or anything, but if you already have the 22 front, you will love it if you just put the 13 rear. It makes for a nice balance and its cheap. Now I have the Canadian EL 24 front and JDM SiR 15 rear. That is real nice withour having to change any LCA's or worrying about damaging my rear frame mounts.
Good luck with it.

 

i have an ex and i swapped the front swaybar for a 26mm suspention techniques... im not 100% on this but i think you are mistaken about that bar being 22mm, i think its more like 19.

 

I beleive it's:
GSR front: 22mm
Si front: 26mm
EX front: 22mm

GSR rear: 13mm
SI rear: 13mm
EX rear: None

I'm getting the 26mm Si and Type-R 22mm.

Ditto. I run the same set-up (EX front, SI rear). Works for me.
