I'm getting a '90 DX hatch this week after the loan goes through for the guy buying my car and he pays me, and I'm looking into a sway bar kit.

I found the Eibach adjustable from Options for $259, a really good price, but I don't know if the '90 DX hatch model has a factory front bar (which the kit is made for).

I guess I could just wait a few days, and then check it out, but I've got the curiousity bug going, so ........... anyone know for sure??

 

Actually, it is NOT a DX, it is a STD, since it is a 4-speed, and I don't think they made the DX in 4-speed.

Need to see the engine code, should be D15B2 if it is a DX .......

 

The std doesn't have a front swaybar. Not sure if the control arms have holes in them.

 

Thanks.

Guess I'll have to upgrade the control arms and get whatever mounts I need to make the kit work if I get it.

 

i don't think you have to make adjustments because i have a neuspeed one and i just bolted it right on, as far as i can remember. yes you gotta love those standards, i have one, but you can get an si tranny and it bolts right up to the motor so then you can have fifth gear. that is what i did.

So you bolted the front one right on, no problems?

 

sure did! i would show pics but i dont' have a scanner. it is just a bitch to work on the car because it gets in the way

 

Cool thanks!

I should be picking it up tomorrow, so we'll see just what I can get away with!
