I'm planning to fit a swaybar for my Civic EG (Sedan, 1994, GLi).

Have done a bit of research and this is the comparation. Please correct me if I'm wrong:

Whiteline:
Adjustable 22mm
Lower tie not included
many issues with noise, etc.

MFactory
19mm
Lower tie included
Can't find too many reviews

Which would you recommend? From the photo the MFactory looks much better.

noise is usually because the endlinks are not tight enough

I would've said the same thing aswell but this setup may not be within his budget.

any pics of the m factory setup?

the issue with eg is mostly the pucking of the hole... (unlike EK)... most reinforcements which spread the load out to 3+ bolts will be fine..

try avoiding kits which move the mount pts further out from the orginal mount points.

This is the full sway bar kit from mfactory -

This the way I currently mount - I chose to mount it this sway so I can test the seperate rear tie bar from mFactory.

The setup has worked very very well in the recent track day.

This is the reason why our brace has been designed in this way i.e It takes the load off the original swaybar mounts and transfers it onto the brace. The brace then spreads the load throughout multiple bolts (in particular, the LCA bolts which is a very strong part of the subframe) and the tie bar.

Only if you are going 22mm do you require the ASR reinforcement kit, which is the only kit we would recommend if you do go this large.

I think I'm sold with mFactory. It looks the bling too :) ..

One thing that I did not factor in was my EG apparently does not have sway end hole. I'm thus blowing my budget. What it the cheapest option to get swaybar-compatible LCA? The wreckers I assume but what type ?

Will let you know how it goes in a few days :wave:

the cheapest way would be to get LCAs from a car that has a swaybar stock from factory so u can use the endlink holes
either on the forums or from a wreakers
ie VTI, delsol etc
i sold mine for like $30, now that i think bout it should have sold it for more
