After 2 threads with input but no clear anwser on my question on the compatablity of the Suspension Techniques with the use of the ASR Subframe brace, I decided to buy one. I the rear sway from Jegs and it came in 2 days then I bolted it on to find out <U>IT WORKED</U>. (I drive a 1997 Integra GS with ABS.)

I was worried that the extra bit of space the ASR brace provided between the orginial mounting holes and the new mounting holes would make the sway bar not be able to clear the shocks. Well it DID clear my Omnipower shocks and mounted perfectly to my ASR brace.

This combo provided an amazing turn around in my handeling and I do not have to worry about sub-frame tear out any more.

ONTO THE PICS!















Just tryin to help out anyone who is wondering about this setup! Because I was!

 

you have the endlink bushings on too tight. they should not be 'mushroomed' like they are.

 

looks good, nice follow-up to your original post. running stock front sway too?

loosen them just enough to where they touch, but arent clamped down. that lets the bar do its job better.

good to know you got it all sorted out

Yes I am.

 

Nice! Do you think this setup will work for EKs?? I have ST sway bars and looking for a brace.

 

My Suspension Techniques bar works with my brace kit... then again I have the ST Speed-Tech setup that has a 22mm bar with a lower chassis brace. Your setup looks very nice.

thanks!

 

nice, I used to have an ST bar, but sold it to get ITR bar.

 

dang,
anyone think a progress bar would work with that?

 

thanks alot for the clear answer finally. this helps alot with my decision on what to get now

 

Is that your ABS line zip tied to the LCA? I am getting an ASR bar but am not sure on what to do about the ABS line. Also, what are the back plates like? From their instructions it looks like they fit over the bolts. I recently cut mine off for the Beaks kit, hopefully it wont be a problem.

Yeah thats the ABS line. What exactly did you cut off?

 

I cut off the nuts that are welded onto the back of the subframe so that i could mount the beaks kit. But after seeing how the holes got ripped up a little bit from the welds, i decided i would be more comfortable going with the ASR bar.

So did you just take the ABS bracket off and zip tie the line on there?

 

I have the same setup thanks for posting

 

how much did you spend?

 

i want to get one, but i looked on jegs and it's not on there. i'm confused.. also, how much did you get it for?

There is the link..i ended up spending 134 shipped. even though shipping was free, handling was 10 bucks. it came SUPER quick though! 2 days!

 

i still don't see the ASR brace..

 

ooo! my bad! i got the ASR brace from Kteller.com!

 

USDM97DC4, I have a question regarding the install of a suspension techniques rear sway. I've got a BSQ kit, and I'm having MAJOR issues with the end links. The tips of the bar are right up against the back of my brakes...

I have the same bar as you (The same part number is printed on the paper label on the bar).

I'm tearing out my hair. I mean, I pulled my LCA's just to get the damn thing to clear... now this.

Help please!!!

 

Whoa thats weird..Im looking at my pics and Im seein i have an inch at the least before the brakes. Did you mount it with the 4 bolts to the subframe? Then it still didnt clear? Thats weird though... sorry man I dunno

 

I think the difference may be that my car is up on jack stands (No compression in spring or shock)...

I looked at your pics, and your car is sitting on the driveway.

I'm going to put my car up on ramps instead of jackstands...

Then retry.

 

Ramps? Can you work well with those? I installed mine with the rear of the car on jack stands

 

The ramps that I have are really good. They're built for lowered cars, and they have a recess in the top to hold the wheel. (I think the ramp will hold a 255 wide tire, not a problem for the teggy)
