Default ASR 32mm revamp...

I recently met up with Charleston the owner and designer of the A spec racing subframe brace and my 32mm hollow sway bar setup. I picked up a few new little pieces for my sway bar kit and have just recently installed them and wanted to share with you guys...


You can see the new CNC'd endlink arms, the new sway bar bushings, and if you look closely the new endlink seal kit...


here are a couple pictures of the new arms and the seal kit


the new arms are much prettier and much more blingarific, they are also a little lighter and the shape of them allows them to fit above the rear LCA with more clearance. The seal kit is something he said I actually showed him a while ago that I had forgotten about. They are pretty cool little washers with a rubber boot/seal formed on the washer. They should help keep any debris out of the hiem joint and hopefully they will last a little longer.


here is a picture of the new sway bar bushings compared to the old ones...


the new ones are different from the old classic style rubber sway bar bushings. They are new self lubricating self centering solid bushings. They seem to be a combo of a solid metal bushing with a hard poly material surrounding the metal sleeve.

here is a picture of my subframe almost 87k on the chassis and more than 15k with the 32mm sway (lots of hard street and freeway driving with plenty of track duty as well)...


and then of course a before and after shot of the 32mm sway and subframe reinforcement

The 32mm setup is still currently for the EK chassis only? Or would it just require different endlinks? This is what i plan on getting sometime down the line but I have an EG.

Site doesn't show it, but if it's available or he's putting it on the site soon, it's something i'd be interested in purchasing.

I don't run a front bar...

I had to extend my stock exhaust about 1" to get it to clear the old bushings...
with the new bushings I am not sure how the exhaust would fit. I will be getting a new exhaust with my new motor so I won't really be able to tell you...

They have this kit on the Hondata racing EG, so I know they make it for that car...
