i was told that if i use gsr control arms , im able to bolt in a type R sway bar .does any one know if it works ? since the gsr control arms sits the same way then the stock 98 hb control arm , need help ?

 

I doubt it being that the type r sway bar does NOT bolt up to a gsr

 

a friend of mine had a gsr and he had the itr sway bar , so has any one done it on the ek hb

 

it'll work, but there is some drilling involved

 

may I suggest a bar that FITS YOUR CAR!!

 

hey buddy... get the stick out of your ***

 

how does that mean i have a stick up my *** suggesting a bar that actually fits. It is alot of hassle and money to get an ITR bar to fit any car other than an ITR, not to mention it dosent fit and there are so many cases of the bar pulling out. I know someone who had a GSR and his ITR bar pulled out. Some of this is covered here too. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?&i...=569484#569484

I could also post all the links to complaints about the ITR bar pulling out of non-ITR cars but that would take a tad too much time.

 

put it on correctly and it will be fine... if u put it on not knowing what u are doing it will rip out... as for making things fit... who wants to just bolt **** up? half the fun is making something fit!

 

Back off on the flame, ek9t...

As for the bar, save yourself some headache and just get a Progress 22mm rear bar. It mounts perfectly with no fiddling and lessens the chance of tearout by mounting the brackets through the lower shock mounts. No drilling, no mess, perfectly neutral handling afterward.

In order to bolt an R sway bar into your EK civic, the only control arm you can use is yours. There are already holes drilled out for endlinks. You will use the end links for a SI coupe, D-brackets and bushings of an ITR, and redrill the subframe to accomodate the lager D-bracket. Remember you have to reinforce the cross member so that the bar won't come flying off during a high speed corner. You can check out the links for more info. Hope this helps.

i'd suggest an alternate source for endlinks. i called honda for a price on endlinks with associated hardware and they quoted me somewhere around $250. this isn't a joke.

 

what about the comptech rear sway bar , will it bolt up ?. i know that it bolts right own an SI and im able to used and Si rear sway bar ,but will it be to much for the hb
