I am very curious on ST's set up. I thought that if i drive a 99 civic, which is ofcourse a front wheel drive. And i thought that in order to gain oversteer on a FWD, i will have to use a larger diameter for the rear sway bar. Here is my confusion, Why do ST sway bars sell in a set for 15/16 Front, and 3/4 Rear?
Now this kit is Front bigger than rear. Am i missing something, can someone tip me out? cos i am still deciding if i should get comptech or ST.. Thank You

 

huh?

 

for the suspension techniques sway bars, we can purchase them in a set of 2 bars, front and rear, right? For 96-2000 Civic, Front sway bar's diameter is 15/16, and Rear sway bar's diameter is 3/4. It makes me confused because the front sway bar's diameter is actually bigger than the rear sway bar's diameter. Dont civic drivers want to balance out the understeer and oversteer by putting a stiffer sway bar in the rear? (Causing more oversteer)
If so, then why do Suspension Technique sway bars sell in a set with front stiffer than rear for civic?

 

Who said you have to buy the front bar?

I would imagine ST makes the front one larger to keep the same (or close) ratio front to back as the stock setup. This is designed to push rather then oversteer which is much safer for street driving.

Oversteer in a FWD car is only for in competition situations when you need to be driving on the edge. There is NO situation on public roads in which a FWD car should be oversteering.

 

ah.... Thanks dude... got it..
do you recommend comptech rear only or ST rear only

 

Is the ST bar adjustable? If not then I definitely would go with Comptech.

Otherwise I like Comptech's mounting plate better but I like how the ST endlinks attach to the shock base better. So it's kinda a tossup there but I think I would still end up going with Comptech.
