it handles better in corners for the 20mins I tested it out, felt flatter with less play, had to remove it tho as you can see in the pic the exhaust side endlink is too close to the exhaust line and the thread on the top of it was scratching into the line... so I have to find a shop to dish up a small section to the muffler to clear it :) But I'm considering running a Spoon or Cusco brace
On the weekend the exhaust will be rectified, just going to cut a new section and bend into it, pics will follow.
Is a good point to raise tho in regards to those who may have fitted an exhaust system without the sway being present, I mean I good half and inch to the left and it wouldnt of been a problem lol

the part numbers for the Honda EM1/EK4 brackets are: 52317-S04-000
the bolts used to hold them into place: Champion High Tensile 5/16" x 1-1/2" UNC
washers on the inside of the subframe and outside of the brackets: Champion A316 Stainless Steel 10mm Flat washers x4
-
for the brackets that attach to the subframe i did the screws the other ways.. lolz
threads pointing inwards (the heads to the back) - yes it was a bitch to tighten but all good... (lcas dont play THAT much i dont think)
ek1 u like the dynamics now? thicker sway u need more reinforcement (asr)
this is on a ek1 sedan btw...
im pretty sure you dont even need to jack her up... u only to jack her up if you're going to replace the lcas..
to SiReal... definately makes a difference for my car (rectifies the intense understeer in even normal cornering)
-
You do need to jack it up if you want any chance in hell of tightening the lca on the exhaust side with a torque wrench, lol. I might even opt to use ASR reinforcement behind the sub frame as a mate doesn't need the two pieces the ASR kit come with, but ether way this system is by far the cheapest and most effective I've come across so far
after the exhaust is fixed in the rear it'll be back on, may do some before and after pics around corners as some kind of study :)
-
yd u remove/retighten the lca bolt?
-
didnt remove lca to shock bolt, you have to tighten up the end linkj bolt onto the lca, and retorque it :)
as you can see in the pic where I had to put a coat of paint where it rubbed :(, sat we'll re-route the exhaust line away from the endlink path, lol :)

Whiteline make a tie bar that supposedly eliminates the tear-out issue with the tie-bar mounting plates. Just another option than the ASR.
Seen at the bottom of the page here: http://www.whiteline.com.au/articles/AS_0308_susp_2.htm
I do believe they make a similar brace (same effect as the tie bar really) but i'm yet to get pictures of one. Pretty sure bobby had one for sale a while ago...
-
yea with the std sway bar of 13mm it won't tear out, anything larger and you should, but in retrospec you shouldnt need anything larger, hell half of the historic race cars I know don't run anything above 10-12mm
-
They're using a 22mm RSW with that tie-bar and mount/brace combo. Interesting...
