I have not been happy with the way my car feels in the front. It feels very unresponsive, and there is alot of roll. My setup is:

1994 cx
b-series
A'PEXi N1 12k/8k
front/rear gsr brakes knuckles, trailing arms, f/r uca's, rear lca's
rear 14mm swaybar

I am happy with the balance of the car at this point. I basically am looking for ways to improve the turn-in, and steering response. Even with the 12k springs in the front, I still get unnessecary body roll, only in the front. I am going to go with the comptech rear/sway combo sometime before summer, so I will have the 22mm rear bar. That should improve the response a lot.

I'm wondering what some options for a front bar are. The ex/si's came with 21mm front bars, correct? Integras have 24mm front, except type r which has 26mm, I believe. I am wondering if anybody makes a front bar that is smaller than 21mm. Something around 17mm/.65" paired up with a 22mm would make for a good combo I think. I was reading somewhere and I believe they listed the suspension techniques front bar for a non-factory swaybar equipped eg as being 17 or 19mm, but I can't find that article anymore. If that really is that size, that would be perfect for me, since I also do not have lca's with swaybar holes.

Basically, I want to keep the heavier springs in the front, so I dont want to ruin my handling by putting a big front bar on.

Another thing I should mention is that my front steering components and supension bushings have close to 200k miles on them. I am going to do poly LCA bushings, new tie rod ends, and wheel bearings before summertime as well.

 

I have a 95 civic ex factory sway bar for cheap. Only thing is i am in Canada...eh?

 

pretty nice setup you got there. i know a few people that have the Si front sway bar paired up with the typeR sway bar in the rear. they say its a night and day difference. im about to get these once i finish up my brakes this week.

but yea, the Ex/Si sway bar is small and efficient enough where it wont create understeer for you as we know is the result from bigger sway bars in the front.
