how do you adjust the suspension techniques rear sway bar so that it is not so stiff? do you make the endlinks longer or shorter? its on a 93 civic coupe. thanks

p.s. i did a search and don't reply with TRY SEARCHING b/c that doesn't help

 

don't know what the bar looks like. pics?

Does it have several mounting holes on the end of the bar?

In the picture the father right I move the endlink, the softer the rate. The farther left, the stiffer the rate. *not a ST bar*

 

it doesn't look like that one ... but from your explanation i can figure out how to adjust mine. . thanks

 

Also note where the endlink connects to the LCA. On the Comptech bar which has a similar setup, switching to softer requires changing the spacer that is between the endlink and the LCA in the picture above.

See page 3 of this pdf: http://www.comptechusa.com/instructions/ins078.pdf

Geratol: is that a Comptech bar? If so, for the medium setting that spacer is on the wrong side. If that's intentional, why did you do that?

Cheers,
Sean

 

what kind of bar is that in the pic? I really like the endlinks.

later

If you compare the location of the sway bar arms in my picture compared to the picture in the pdf you can see they are different lengths. The goal is to have the endlinks as close to vertical as you can so that it doesn't bind when things start to move. If I installed the endlink as shown in the pdf then it would be binding before I even put the car on the ground.

Yes it is a comptech bar. However it is a custom one so the dimensions are a little different then the OTS version.

maybe you should read the instructions that came with the bling bling bar you got?

that would be good if the instructions told you how to adjust the bar and its not MY bling bling bar, notice this is for a 92-95 civic application. maybe with a little schooling you could come up with an intelligent post?
