EK9 vs EK4 sway bar

[vrrroommm]

Does anybody know if there's any difference between the swaybars (front and rear) of the EK9 and the EK4??
What's the diameters of the bar?

Cheers!!!

Diameter of the front EK9 sway bar is 25mm and rear is 20mm.

Much stiffer than EK4 ones.

Hope that helps. :)

Cheers

fronts are the same 26mm ?
16mm vs 22mm i think the rears are.

[sub11z]

how many mm is the whiteline one for the fron and rear?

[Torment]

stock EK9 front 26mm, rear 22mm

stock JDM EK4 front 26mm, rear 15 or 16mm i can't recall...

hope this helps.

[chameleon]

whiteline are 27mm front and
either the 18mm or the adjustable 22mm rear

stock EK9 front 26mm, rear 22mm

stock JDM EK4 front 26mm, rear 15 or 16mm i can't recall...

hope this helps.

newcomer just recieved rep point ! :thumbsup:
just to clarify.

Front: Same 26mm
Rear: jdm/audm EK4 16mm , EK9 22mm

Gosh, if I had known you wanted to be 100% exact, I would have also mentioned 26mm F, 22mm B.
:p :angel:

lol./ the point is.. you gave him incorrect figures in the begining.. bad bad man !

I am not too sure if that is correct either..

I always thought the rear EK4/EM1 was 13mm

[xtercii]

I remembered someone saying upgrading your rear swaybar anything bigger than 14mm should have some sort of bracing, if that's true then 13mm makes sense.

:o

you clown. its 16mm.

jing. anyhting above 22mm would need bracing. such as whiteline reinforcement kits. beaks. home made ;) or ASR Brace for the wealthy

edit: okay.. theres a prioblem. i just grabbed my standard sway to measure it. with one eye closed, it reads 16mm on the ruler, with both eyes open, it reads 13mm. gonna go measure the circumference, and do some calculations. brb

[zco]

heres the results. circumference is 14.8-14.9mm. we'll take the middle so 14.85mm

2*pi*r = 14.85 (where 2*r = diameter)
so 2*r= 14.85/pi
2*r = 15.43mm's

hehehe... i would have thot it was a simple question... i've created a tidal wave of info!! hehehe... and technical too... should have stuck around in geometry class.
Thanks guys! But, i was told by a shop that the front ek4 and ek9 is different diameter.... hmmm... who's right?...

PS: I saw whiteline sway bar for the front is 27mm in dia..

fronts are hte same. they'd probably tell you its different because they wanna make a sale ? LOL. dont make me pull out my wheel and measure the front sway for you too ! LOL

hehehehehehe... tyre kicker

your Circumference is smaller than your diameter man.. ;)..
check your measurement and the use of Pi ehehehehe

*********************************
the em1 is 13mm.. ive measured it in the past with a proper vernier when i was making DIY ASR...
However i it might not be the same as ek4.. who knows eheheh

U've got an EK9??? daaaaaaammmnnnn!!! ... would a "yes, please" get u to pull out your wheel and measure?? hehehe...
Thanks for all the inputs...
