What Sway bars for my eg civic

[Sexc86]

Hey guys

Been haveing a problem trying to find what manufacture makes sway bars for my EG civic. Im after around a 26mm Front Sway and around 23mm rear. What manufactures make such a sway bar ? and where can i purchase them from?

Not really considering ITR sway bars as my car is more a show car too and after something that looks good as well as performs.

THanks in advance

ps will be useing asr subframe brace

whiteline. ur gonna need a beaks kit or a asr kit to run a swaybar that thick that wont rip ur subframe.

[bennjamin]

if you use the ASR rear brace , then you can ONLY use the rear ITR or CTR swaybars. The whiteline will not fit.

Can i suggest , front / rear ITR swaybars and simply sand them back and paint them a bling colour ?

[Sexc86]

have anyone tried eibach sway bars? they dont look too bad.

and if you ran an asr why would you be limited to ctr or itr sways? dont all sway bars mount to the same point in your subframe?

[Sexc86]

Bump anyone?

[bennjamin]

not all swaybars mount @ the same point - it depends if they are "replacement" swaybars ( like cusco etc for ITR or CTR's) or if they are "kits" like the whiteline ones.

I stuck with an ITR rear bar , because it is 100% known to work with ASR kit. And its cheap.

[Sexc86]

but surely all aftermarket kits would still have to mount to factory honda holes / mounts? you wouldnt just screw it into anything would you?

also where can i find cusco sway bars? cant find them anywhere??!

[bennjamin]

At a minimum , any "replacement" swaybar would have upgraded and larger bushes. (this is because , its increasing in size so the bush would have to be larger internal diameter to compensate!)
IMO most swaybars do utilize the factory mounting hardware or endlinks etc.
WHITELINE , does not it is an entire new "kit"

Yup - the issues related to whiteline , are to the EK variant of "heavy duty mounts". The EG/DC has had a smaller amount of subframe tearouts. Still happens tho.

[destrukshn]

i shall say alot smaller, myself have only heard of 2 sub frame tearouts from in proper installations on em.
but that was due to not tighting the bolts tight enough.
these are on the eg/dc chassis i shall add.
but plenty on the ek.

[bennjamin]

ive heard of 3 from proper installation , just normal wear. Add my old EG , got the subframe plucked out from a whiteline "replacement" swaybar ( POS 1st gen thing).

So thats 6 EG/DCs , for like 30 ek's.
Still , show me a link of a failed ASR brace.

[Sexc86]

So let me get this right, The Whiteline sway bar does not mount to factory holes in the car? This is why you need a mounting kit? And its the whiteline mounting kit that is not good? so it would be allright to run a whiteline sway with a ASR brace?

Has Anyone ever run EIBACH sway bars?

17mm rear 26mm front

Ben your wrong. The whiteline bars fit with ASR brace.

i'm running whiteline 22mm adjustable with ASR brace, no issues. Just need the brackets generic swaybar mounts from supercheap. Cost $20.

Do show us all some pix :)


I should of added that whiteline bars have the tendency to sometimes be alittle different one to the next. I have tried fitting before and it would not clear due to the bends. (also in the past there has been issues with whiteline bars not having the same clearance than a similar item etc)

[egSi]

be careful with whiteline lyle, recently it was rumoured that they were bought out or had a merger with a bush company and they keep no stock on the shelf and have been 'iffy' on quality. whiteline 12 months ago is awesome imo. that being said i have also had my RSB for 2+ years with no ill affects.

hard decision on what to buy nowadays imo

[Sexc86]

So bach to origional question

what are some manufactures that make sway bars in these sizes for an Eg civic? and where can i obtain some

also the Whiteline swaybars, are the designed so they just cant bolt on to factory honda holes / points, you need a mounting kit in which to do so?
, and the so called problem with whiteline is the mounting kit and not the swaybar itself? so really if a whiteline sway were used with a ASR brace it would infact be good?

Anyone Tried EIBACH Sway bars? 26mm from 17mm rear though

[bennjamin]

Sexc86 , when searching online look up "EG6" parts to help u out for any JDM replacement stuff

[Sexc86]

will the ek9 CTR sway bars suit Eg? or only Dc2r

[1996ek1]

While yous are talking about swaybars, are thicker always better?
And is there a benefit to having a BEAKS lower tie bar if you have an ASR brace?

And this could possibly relate to Lyle if CTR sways fit his car but,
Are CTR front + rear sways the best option?

[Sexc86]

Bump any new info? what are the size options available for CTR / ITR sway bars? that will suit an EG with an ASR?
