What kind of rear lower tie bar will fit with NO modification on a 98 integra gsr that has been modified to hold the ITR rear sway bar using BSQ's kit? It sort of looks like the spoon should fit just fine, but I'd like to know from someone using one. I'm looking for something that is a bolt on, not something I am going to have to bend. Thanks.

 

My friend used the Neuspeed tie bar and some spacers (ie - washers) at the mounting point to give it some clearance/room. He has the ITR bar, BSQ's kit and the Neuspeed tie bar. (BSQ's is the cheaper one right? which ever one is the cheaper kit, is the one he has.) I get 'em confused, sorry!

 

Lower rear tie bar will not do swat for you...save your $$$ or if you itching because of it, send it to me.

 

ive always sort of thought they looked pointless, especially based on where the ITR rear sway bar mounts. guess ill just save my money, get an oil cap or something. lol

 

You could get Comptech's new rear tie bar, the type-r sway bar mounts directly to it using sway bar mounts from Prothane or Energy Suspensions. It also takes pressure away from the mounts so it doen't rip out the chassis, as the tie bar is mounted using the control arm bolts....

 

do you know that works for sure? and if so what are the part numbers on the mounting brackets from energy suspension?

 

The bushing brackets that you use with the BSQ mounts should work with the new Comptech tiebar. It has holes in the right places for the bolts. Make sure that you get an extra pair of bolts (should come with it) when you order the bar from Comptech.

 

I'm talking about the lower rear tie bar that comes with the sway/tie bar kit, not stand-alone tie bar. Comptech will sell that tie bar separately. You could tell them that you got the comptech sway bar stand-alone kit before the new kit came out and now want just the tie bar.

 

oh ok thats alot. ill have to check into the price.

 

You have ONE valid point... it won't do squawt for you on the road... But if he was to ever autox or road race with some 'r' compound tires... thus creating enough traction to induce chasis flex, by god that tie bar will help. Next time, lets dig into what he's doing before we say it won't do anything.
