Default Ek front swaybar options . . . ?

i have been searching but cannot find a small front swaybar! im looking for something to neutralize my car alittle (like 11-16mm), for im running an ST Speedtech syatem outback and 350/450 springs(f/r), but i dont want to put a huge swaybar up front. does anybody know of any front swaybars that can be used in my situation? TIA

You can use the OEM SI or EX sway bar but you have to replace your LCA's accordingly.

Or you could look at an aftermarket setup such as ST sway bars

EX 22 mm front bar should do the trick!

I have 26mm front, 22 mm rear... the balance is mostly neutral with slight understeer under throttle. I can induce oversteer at anytime. I still think you need a 22mm front. You won't find anything smaller than that... cuz quite frankly it just wouldn't be worth making/putting on if it's smaller than stock.

The front comes thicker than the rear out of the factory on all honda's I think.
Your car came with none, so now you have to much oversteer due to the fact that you have no front sway, right? I think that the EX sway is the smallest, don't worry you will still feel some oversteer. The fornt sway will just give it a much more nuetral feeling.

yes you need the front LCA off of the EX or the SI, to correspond with which ever sway bar you use

The rear i believe you can mount just about any sway bar too. I believe that the Integra rear sway bars mount up just fine. (but you better use a Beaks kit if you plan on getting anything serious) protect your subframe

^^ ^^ya seriously, those are some huge bars!


the integra rear sway bars would require new rear lca's because they mount on the top of the lca's. where as the si bar mounts in the middle.

but i would assume this would hold true for the front? if he went with an si

Im running into a similar issue, Im running a cusco 24mm sway bar in the rear, i was going to match it up with a 28mm Mugen sway bar in the front but i dont believe the mugen sway bar comes with any mounting hardware(my cusco one didnt) so would I have to go w/the SI setup in order to be able to mount it? anyone know?
