I know it's generally frowned upon to to just post pics of cars, so I decided to make it a bit more interesting to show the transition of my car. Now, I don't want to hear any "Drop that bitch" comments, I have my coil-overs, I am just waiting for my ITR lower control arms. Which is where my question is entered. Right now I have a Suspension Techniques rear anti-sway bar. Will my current bar work with the ITR LCA's? Or will I have to get an ITR bar? I think I already know the answer, I just wanted to make this a tech post too!

Anyway, here we go. I apologize for some of the pictures, some of them are mad old, and the newer pics didn't have the best lighting conditions. I tried to make the pics as dial-up friendly as possible, but sometimes you lose too much quality in the compression..

**EDIT** 12/31/02 I finally "dropped the bitch," got my Tanabe's installed. And I was able to retain my ST rear anti-sway bar. It took a little tweaking to the trailing arm to make it fit cleanly, but it worked. I included pictures are the rear suspension too. The Tanabe's are a little rough (I wish I had gotten the PRO with the damper adjustment settings) but she handles like a **** now! She is riding a little low, and once I find a set of coil-over wrenches I am going to put it up another half-inch (my friend only has the one set of wrenches).

On another note, a ******* rock or something (maybe a Vision hater with a bat) broke my pass corner lens! Anyone know where I can get ONE real Vision corner?



These are some of my oldest pictures. I don't have any in it's unmolested state. Pimpin pin-stripes y0!


Nice 17"



Don't get me started on the sticker. My ex-club decided they wanted windshield banners. Eh, oh well...





This is what she looks like now. SOHC VTEC goodness was supposed to be replaced with B20VTEC goodness, but I'm getting dicked over on that (SEE MY SIG.). And if you don't like my red tailights, then you can **** off!


Here's a pic of the inside of my hatch, just because it is messy.

Flames welcomed and expected. Although if somebody could get back to me on the anti-sway bar question it would be appreciated.

nice excuse to post pics!
so post pics of the suspension setup.

 

Looks good! did you change your rims?? those white 17s dont look the same as the ones later on. the later white ones look like 5 stars. what are they?

 

looks good, is that a macco paint job, they never tape off then damn inserts in bumpers.

 

cool si

 

Yeah, the 17" are Konig Traffiks. My new wheels are 15" Rota Attacks. As far as the the bumper inserts, I wanted those painted. I had everything that was black on the car painted to match.
As far as the suspension goes. I haven't installed it yet. Aside from new front/rear anti-sway and strut bars, the suspension is still stock. My Tanabes have been sitting around as I wait for the ITR LCA's. I just wanted to know if my current anti-sway will work with the 'teg LCA.

 

Drop that bitch!!
HAHA JK

 

Nice Hatch!!

 

Thanks guys! Any takers on my question? I will know the answer once I get a chance to take a look at the 'teg LCA's. But, I wanted to know ahead of time.

 

Court, what's up? It's Lamar. To answer you question yes your current bar will work. You may want an ITR rear sway anyway because it's 22 mm. What size is the ST?

PS: I just ordered my Teg LCA's today so I can add the ITR bar in the future.

Bwahahaha! Wassup Lamar! I see more and more people coming onto this board from ImportAtlanta!
I kinda had a feeling my current bar would work, I just wanted to make sure. The ST bar is 22mm, BTW.

 

Why did you buy teg LCA's if your not going to add a teg sway bar?

 

Drop that bitch!!! hahaha, looks good man!!!

 

I needed ITR LCA's for my Tanabe coil-overs.

 

Really? I thought the only difference between the Teg LCA and ours is the extra hole for a Teg Sway?

 

Nope, does anyone have a pic of the ITR LCA? I don't know about the lower trim level 'tegs, but the rear struts of the the ITR use different connections to the LCA. I actually just took another look at my current bar and found out my question about the anti-sway bar MAY be moot because ST uses an L-bracket that connects to the bottom bolt on the shock. It doesn't really connect to the LCA itself. I don't know how different the ITR's LCA will look.

 

I don't really see much of a difference... other than the sway bar mounts, and the
ES bushings of course.

nice

 

I can't seem to find a picture of the ITR's arms, but when they come in I will take a picture for you.

 

Oddly enough the LCA's came today. Here are some pictures of what ITR lower control arms look like, Lamar. And those are my rear coil-overs put into postion for perspective. I think the pictures you had are from a standard 'teg.




I still don't know if my ST anti-sway will work. These LCA's are fatter than my stock arms. I don't know if my bar will be able to fit over them. I guess we will see....

Is that a ITR muffler?

 

ha.. civic minded crew j/p. i remember that car

 

resembles my car in a lot of ways

 

My Teins were the same way, they are for an SIR which has the same LCAs as the Type R which are different from all other Civic and Teg LCAs.

 

Nope, it an old *** DCSports.
