Before I buy this used online, just want you guys' expert opinions -

- does this look like Suspension Techniques part # 51145, which is a 3/4" (19 mm) diameter rear sway bar that fits a '94-01 Integra or '92-95 Civic Si?

Thanks in advance.

 

ST swaybars are good. i'm not sure if thats for a 92-95civic/94-00integra

 

Thanks dude, I like ST bars b/c I have them on my CRX, and I'm pretty sure it's a real ST part b/c it's the right color grey, but I'm not sure the bends look right compared to my stock piece . . .

- anyone else got an opinion?

 

errr. i'll give u an answer later... i have an ST rear sway bar on my EG. i honestly dont recall it looking like that, but i will certainly check for ya as soon as i get off work and get home...

heres a pic of mine installed, try to compare... might be............ i have more pics of it uninstalled at home too. i'll let ya kno.

 

Thx n3rdsp0rts, that looks like it to me. I'm buying it used off somebody on thepartstrader.com and I wanted to reassure myself I wasn't buying the wrong part.

BTW, did you just drill a hole and mount your sway bar endlink to the stock Civic LCA??? Is that safe/kosher? It looks like you tapped it for the threads instead of putting it though the lower control arm with a bolt and nut . . .

thanks,

Hsun

 

the ST bars usually mount to L brackets that use the shock bolts.

not the OEM location further inboard.

 

sorry that it isn't so clear, but it looks to be the same.


this is the L bracket (paintbrush drawing )


i'll take a pic of the L Bracket on my car in a sec and upload it.....

 

Here are the L bracket pics I told you about.... i bought a piece of angle steel from Home Depot, cut a 1.5" more or less. Then, drilled a hole on both sides (forget drill bit size). i thought it wouldn't be strong enough, but its been holding up more than fine for over a year now!!!




GOOD LUCK on yours

 

Cool, awesome info - thx very much! Now I don't have to bother to get Integra LCA's! Now I understand why the bend looks different than a stock GSR rear bar - it's designed to attach at a different point.

How thick is that angle iron? 1/4"? Or is it thinner than that?

it's at least 1/4" for sure. I've been using the ST sway bars for almost 3 years now and no problems with cracking on the subframe.
