Hi I own a 1995 Honda Civic Coupe

http://www.tracracing.com/isrc...=4462

Here is my actual suspension setup...

KYB AGX 4 corners
HR race springs
Front strut bar
Kumho V700 205/45/16 (50 TW)
( plan to get Jimfab traction bar )

Im not looking for a full road race suspension setup but I want to know if a good sway bar kit should be good for me or I should stay with my OEM front sway bar ??

Any advice are welcome !

Thanks

 

Keep the OEM front and get at least a 19mm rear swaybar. I just installed a Suspension Techniques rear sway on my 93 Si and it's, by far, the best mod I've done to the car.

 

looks clean




yea go with the ST swaybar

 

i recently installed a ST rear sway/tie bar combo and it ****** sick! the car just begs to be in the twisties!

 

comptech rear all the way. best suspension mod you can get. they can be found for 350, but it's well worth it. search for comptech and you'll see mine and others 800000 posts about it.

Or get the ST rear sway for $125 at Summit and spend the amount you saved over the Comptech bar on something else worthwhile. If you don't autocross and road race in a professional manner, you won't notice the difference around town. The ST bar does a great job of neutralizing understeer and bringing the *** of the car around when you lift-throttle in a sweeping corner. That's all anyone wants out of a swaybar for street duty, so get the cheap, proven one over the expensive, proven one, IMO.

 

thank to all of you ! I think I will get the suspension technique one... do you know a good place to get one ???

does the ST rear sway bar endlinks go to the rear LCAs or does it mount to something else?

cuz i didn't realize the ST sway was that cheap..i was saving up for the SRR...hmmmm..sweet guys, sweet.

 

You flip around your struts and it mounts there...

on the one that has the lower tie bar, the endlinks mount to the little un-used hole in your LCA.

 

Comptech. Three-way adjustable. Endlinks are the ****, too.

 

sorry if this is thread jacking but what if your running ITR LCA's???? does the suspension techniques rear sway bar come with all the proper parts&gt;? i was gonna put a stock gSR rear sway but how does it go into the subframe if its not threaded like the integras are?

 

Dunno how the ST bar connects but if it connects at the swaybar mounting points on the LCAs, it'll work fine with ITR LCAs.

8x1.25 locking nut or regular nut with lock washer on the other side of the subframe since they don't have welded nuts like Integras.

 

sorry to be OT but whats the diff between the integra type R rear sway and the suspension technique or comptech

i have a CTR sway at my house and compared it to my ST sway and the CTR has less bends but it the same thinckness(22mm).

 

would that cause handling differences

 

hey the people with the st bar did u guys use any reinforcement??? i bought my bar used for dirt cheap but it didnt come with any reinformcent stuff or bolts, what kinda bolts do i use?? and for reinforcments just washers?? or should i look into the beaks kit?

 

looks good.. i like it...

I have one of these waiting to be put one, damn winter go away.

 

is there a chance of this being ripped from the sub frame?

I have heard numerous horror stories of sub frames being torn and I dont want that happing to me

 

Where'd you guys get the ST rear sway bar/tie bar combo? Summit doesn't seem to have the rear with the tie bar. Their site sucks when it comes to locating the correct part.

the strut/tie bar combo comes with reinforcements. thick billet aluminum blocks to reinforce the subframe.
