i would never have though the sub-frame was so weak that it would tear under a 18mm swaybar.
My old corolla had a 18mm rear sway and it just used the original mounts and it was fine for years until i sold it.
So where do i get these extra rear support from?
Anyone got a pic of one on so i know what it looks like?
yeah hondas and corollas have a different way the swaybar works.
there was a thread here a while ago should be able to track one down with a quick search.
damn.
this has been some problem with the EK.
its poor that honda used mounts on the subframe.
ive got a mirage (auspec no rear sway factory). My v2 whiteline mounting bracket for rear swaybar is same as the Cyborg. it bolts to the rear chassis rails on both sides. nothing mounts to the subframe. the first version whiteline like the civic one was shit. Whiteline didnt know of the chassis mounting and supplied a kit that required holes drilled into the centre region of the subframe (where the civic EKs is free from any reinforcement the Mirage still has metal).

i think the current version of the Civic EK rear swaybar can come with the heavy duty mounting plate as well as a tie bar which makes it more rigid distributes the load better. its really stupid though how the stock mounting is so close to the edge.
if you can definately go the ASR kit. you need to strengthen the f**k out of it to hold the abuse of hard cornering.
not sure how the shop is going to fix it but will be as strong as the original sheet metal (:eek:)
i hope it all works out well
lol at subframe
then ad 45.00US for shipping and you haev yourself over 300+Quote:

Plus it is also not on a civic (I would have thought it would be different on different chassis).Quote:

The biggest sway bar isn't always the best for your car.
You may find that some cars handle better with an 18mm where others feel sloppy.
Instead of going the full race bar you may want to look at other braces first to stiffen the rest of your chassis.
exactly. the only advantage in hollw swaybars is the cost factor and for the same weight (hollow vs smaller diameter solid of same weight) it will be stiffer.Quote:
