Default just installed my rear lower tie bar on my GSR

damn. talk about something being WAY more of a pain in the *** then it looked. here's a bar with two holes. simple enough right? ****. hell no. trying to get the lower control arm bushins lined up and the suspension loaded JUST RIGHT so the bolt will come out and go in.... man. and then on top of that, the little wheel speed sensor wires are in this protective harness right under the mounting point, so to get them to fit back on so you don't have to do a hack job and zip tie the wires to the control arm, you have to grind material off of the harness holder. I'm tellin you, WAY TROUBLE.

but anyhow, now it's on, and combined with the rear upper strut bar I added a bit ago, the car handles bitchin' around turns. I can't wait to get the sway bar on next. any suggestions on a good sway bar for less than 150.00?

The itr bar is about 100-120 in parts if bought new, that means all the bushin n brackets n ****...

The bsq kit is a mounting kit that is sold by a member on this board with the sn BSQ his real name is bret. He's a really helpful guy. HIs kit or something of the sort is required in order to make the type R sway bar mount onto our RS/LS/SE/GS/GSR's. He sells them on his website.

The itr(integra type r incase u didnt kno) rear sway bar is 22mm for the usdm version and 23mm for the latter jdm version.

I put it on couple weeks ago and i love it. Its a great combo with my new neuspeed front tower bar. I love it, and feel its a great improvement over the stock bar.

If you want to see install instructions and pics of it, then you can go to my site's diy section

or go to BSQ's Site

Hope that answers ur questions.

Eric.

EDIT: oh and you need the BSQ kit or the BEAKS mounting kit or something of the sort to insure that you won't tear out ur subframe from the extra stress.

EDIT#2: Sorrie bout the bad link... i was kinda zoning out.. fixed it.
