I currently have this on order and will be arriving sometime who knows when. I have talked to a couple of people who think that a 26mm rear sway bar might rip off of the car because it is too stiff. I do beleive that Mugen supplies a reinforcement kit with the bar, but does anyone have first hand experience with this bar on an ITR or know of anybody who had problems? I didn't think that it would have any issues.

Thanks!

 

Rip off the car? I highly doubt it. It'll be fine

 

If you feel it will be too much- send it to me and i will gladly replace it with the stock bar

 

I think its a little much for the stock suspension.
Meaning: It will cause a great deal of oversteer.

However it isn't going to rip off of the subframe!

 

The ITR subframe is reinforced for a larger rear sway bar - you will have no problems.

People run into trouble when they put a larger rear bar on a Civic or Standard Integra which do not have a reinforced subframe... perhaps those are the people who supplied you with the information.

 

I'm looking for a used Mugen 26mm rear bar (not directed to/at the present initial poster).

Mine got ruined in my wreck and I need one to match up with the front 26mm bar I won (traded for) at the 1st ITR Expo.

 

I've had one on my car since new (4 years now) - zero problems.

They are great with stock suspension too.

Everything else is just lies.

 

I just traded my 26 for a 24 since I went back to stock sus, but I liked the 26.

yshi - who nvr had any problems w/ the 26

 

That is what I had thought... I didn't figure there would be problems, and yes of course it was Civic and Non-Type R owners who thought that it would have the possibilty of tearing out. I just wanted to see if anyone else had ever heard of such a thing on an R.

My suspension set-up is pretty far from stock too.
Thanks Guys!

 

Maybe if you told us "My suspension set-up is pretty far from stock too." and what you have done more people could give advise and maybe even better advise too ??

 

I have both front and rear Mugens and never had any problems what so ever. You will be good to go.
