Rear 22mm+ Sway bar to fit EK ASR Brace - Sourcing options

[Mikecivic78]

I've just purchased an EK ASR Brace for my em1 from another member.

Next step is sourcing a sway bar. I'm guessing 22mm will be the ideal width.

My question is what's cheapest brand for getting new swaybar+endlinks? Can;t find one second hand.

I've heard that DC2r sway bar can be used?

Saw this from JDMyard: JDM EK9 rear sway bar complete kit $365 http://forum.jdmstyletuning.com/showthread.php?t=28585

pretty exxy, what's a cheaper option? I heard paying more than 250 is too much.

FYI, you dont need the complete kit.
You can keep the endlinks you have now.
So just need the sway bay & D bushing/bracket.

yeah Mike use your endlinks off the factory sway bar, for the D brackets and bushings I got some from Yonas, they are made by energy suspension and are cheaper than the OEM Honda ones. I havent had a problem with them to this day.

To give you some idea I paid $140 for my EK9 swaybar. It came with endlinks but I used the ones that were already on the car as they were in better condition. Then the D brackets and bushings cost me around $35 from memory.

Here are the D Brackets/Bushing I'm talking about

Cheers Josh. So if I source new it's a saving of 110 if I don't need endlinks--- Nice. 180 for bar and just need to get brackets/bushings.

Sounds interesting, so I would need endinks and brackets to make that fit?

I Pm'd you Mike, I used the endlinks of the factory EM1 swaybar no problems..

[tiksie]

I got a 2nd whiteline rear sway for $100 with all bushings/endlinks

So they shouldn't go for much 2nd hand

So cheap, but I already got one brand new ASR for 280 here in Oz. I've also ordered JDM EK9 bushings and brackets for 50 bucks from the states (inclusive of shipping). Now I just need an EK9 swaybar from Yonas as EM1 endlinks will work with it.

All due respect, but everyone is aware of that.

[Mikecivic78]

Thanks for the knowledge Josh. Sway bar is in and endlinks worked. ;)

Car corners very well even though springs and dampers are stock. Very stable and still nice and soft ride. Very good for daily.

well i say good luck to finding a brand new 1 for less than 200
