Biggest Sway Bar for EG5

[quangsuke]

I want to know what is the maximum size (mm) sway bar i can fit into my EG.
I'm trying to prep for track and any help would be good.

[riruiz_88]

you can get hollow 32mm bars, but they say this equates to a ~22mm solid bar. just get an ITR sway bar and replace the bushes with polyurethane ones. best bang for buck

[quangsuke]

i thought abt the dc2r sway, is it really cheaper then aftermarkets?

[riruiz_88]

cheaper than some. and i you like, get some adjustable end links for it. another great mod is to change your bushes. i changed 80% of my rear bushes with polyurethane ones, and it feels so much better. and when i got the ITR sway bar in, couldnt believe how much of a difference it made.

ASR is the biggest Ive ever seen, it larger than the ITR by a few mm, very chunky

alot of ebay shops sell it and the brace in an affordable package with lcas

[bennjamin]

why biggest ?

Bigger...is NOT better.

I would put my left nut on the fact that most good times out there come from cars with standard or otherwise slightly larger swaybars.
Some if not alot of cars rely on spring rates rather than swaybars.

i think bang for buck is just to get ITR sway, but in the long term invest in some coil overs,
as they do majority of the work when it comes to corners, or at least i think so imho

Rear
ASR - 24mm
DC2R - 23mm

iirc
Front
DC2R 98+ - 25mm
DC2R 98 BELOW - 24mm

As said before bigger does not always mean better, do some research. You will find things like coilovers, camber, toe, tyres etc. play a very large part. It just finding the right setup to suit your style of driving.

**ASR sub-brace is recommended for all larger sway bar installs on the rear.

Swaybars help yes, but spend your money on some decent shocks and bushings before you fork out for a $500-$600 ASR rear kit and bigger front swaybar.

[will13]

dc2r rear is 22mm iirc

[bennjamin]

dc2r rear is 22mm iirc


AUDM ITR (99-00) is 22mm rear solid swaybar.

JDM ITR (96-98) is 22mm solid (98-00) is 23mm hollow

AUDM ITR (99-00) is 22mm rear solid swaybar.

JDM ITR (96-98) is 22mm solid (98-00) is 23mm hollow

yep correct as ben said

theres other brands too like mugen and cusco

spend you money on a good brand coilover instead imo

why would you get the biggest sway bar with shit sussy ?

[riruiz_88]

AUDM ITR (99-00) is 22mm rear solid swaybar.

JDM ITR (96-98) is 22mm solid (98-00) is 23mm hollow
never knew that ITR came standard with a hollow bar. thought you could only get hollow bars from aftermarket. but being hollow wouldnt be as stiff as a solid one the same thickness.

yep not hollow as i had one before
missed that

[bennjamin]

wasnt the 23mm hollow to provide the same rigidity but allow significant weight saving ?

just to quote myself - a hollow (tube) swaybar with similar OD ( outer diameter) to a solid unit , will be almost half the weight of the solid unit.

i had whiteline rear sway bar and itr front sway bar with ok suspension and it handled awesome :D but definately get the rear subframe brace so u dont tear it out

[quangsuke]

thanks for all the replies. i was just merely asking what would be the biggest size i could fit. most likely i will go for the ITR or OBX Sway.
I already plan to get coilovers for the car and hopefully i will be all prepped =D
