i just bought ASR sub frame and sway bar with ASR adjustable end links, and i am trying to make my rear a stiff as i can.

so the question is how should i make the end links short or long?
i have a 98 civic coup

someone correct me if im wrong but i believe that flatter or the more parallel to the ground you make your sway bar the stiffer the setting you will have. same thing with the different bolt options on the sway bar itself, i believe the outer bolts will yield a stiffer setup.

Idealy you want the sway bar perfectly horizontal and the endlinks perfectly vertical.

Have you ever driven a fwd with an oversteer bias? If you haven't be prepared for some pucker moments if this is a street car. Things can get out of hand if you don't know what your doing.

Anytime someone says something I do not know I take a quick second to Google it, rather than wasting time writing a post or reply to a post.

Exactly. The back will come around in a hurry and if your not ready for it your going to be **** outta luck.

I doubt anyone will listen to me but on any fwd honda the factory itr rear sway bar is the biggest rear bar I would ever put on a street car. Even that can get a bit hairy at times, but it is much easier to handle. Just my $.02 after having some hair raising moments of my own.

I spun my buddy's 95 EX with a ITR bar, and had coutless *** puckering moments over the years. lol
Watch out for lift off oversteer.

22mm is a good size bar, and is VERY popular. In fact i'll be adding one soon.

Because dumb *** people think a ITR bar is worth a ton, becuase it'a a ITR bar.

Some guy here posted one for $225, firm. He'd be luckly to get $100

No ****!! I just picked up a brand new ITR bar, 2 bushings and 2 D brackets for $105 shipped to my door. From an online Acura dealer.

Cheaper then I thought it was.

Thanks

maybe you should do some research and figure out what's going to work best on your car? you probably will never even be able to out-drive what a decent set of shocks and springs and some sticky tires could deliver.

Serge L

yeah i tried researching the best way to set it up, but this is the last thing i wanted to do with suspension, got new coil over F&F type 1, strut bars new tires the goods lol i just want to be able to go a little faster around corners not saying 90 on a hair pin but a fun but speed limit

What tires did you get?

If you say all-seasons I'm going to

Serge L

nitto, summer tires

whats wrong with all season tho?

FearSC549

It's not as sticky as summer tires

Libertariat

I just think it's pretty pointless to make tons of effort to make the car handle well and put all-seasons on a car. There is a NIGHT AND DAY difference in handling with an all-season and a summer tire.

A car with less suspension mods and summer tires will out-handle the dog **** out of a heavily modded car with all-seasons.
