Default suspension setup swaybar tiebar combo opinions suggestions EG hatch

i'm looking for a swaybar tiebar combo setup, but wanted to know what peoples opinions are on the two I'm looking at.

I have a EG hatch with H22 ....D2 coilovers & Omni LCA's

I'm looking at Suspension Techniques swaybar/tiebar combo & the SRR combo.

They look very similar both with the reinforcement backing plate.

Just wanted to get some feedback on these two setup?

i know there are a couple others that people like....comptech, beaks,etc...
but these two are in my price range.

i also read that some people were still tearing the subframe with these combo setup that have the reinforcement plate?? that seems wierd to me.
but i have pretty stiff springs on my D2 500k/400K which also have 36pt dampening adjustability so i don't think it should stress it out too bad


let me know wht you guys think....

yeah i can get the ST setup for around $300shipped...but i can get the SRR combo setup for about $100 cheaper then the ST.

i'm kinda leaning towards the SRR....and saving $100 to put towards my exhaust.
i guess if i end up not liking it I can sell it & get the ST or comptech.

i had the SRR it worked ok but the endlink kept on snaping and coming undone. Many others have looked at the design and said that its a binding crap hole of a mess. Now my endlink repeaditly snapping leads me to belive this. I never notived any funky stuff in handeling but always fixing the endlink fuckn sucked. I sold it and got the comptech peace.

If your on a budget just get the GSR bar and endlink, it wont require any subframe reinforcement and you can get them for under 100 bucks

i don't think you have to be auto xing....

normal spirited daily drving can do it too if the sway bars is stiff enough.


from what i've seen, read, & talked to people about...this is my conclusion.
on a civic if you go with a itr or stiffer sway bar you take a risk of tearing the subframe if its not reinforced.
if you stay below a 19mm or get a gsr (14mm i think) you should be fine.

other cars have the same problem...my svt contour has a 18mm on it & you can upgrade to a 19, 22, or 23 & the 22&23's have been tearing subframes.
i was gonna get a 19 but why bother to just go up 1mm.

my wifes suzuki aerio sx has a 14mm stock bar & progress makes a 19mm but i heard that originally they were gonna go bigger but it risked causing problems so they settled on 19mm...
