Handling for your civic

you refer to "sway bar" or "anti-roll bar"

your cxi , does NOT have a rear one. Its a fantastic mod to install a rear swaybar...save up and get a WHITELINE kit or a ASR brace plus ctr rearswaybar.

ok now im wanting to get my first mod , im thinking of getting a rear strut bar not sure what its called , it goes under neath the car

my question is , does my civic already have one from factory

no i am not meaning strut brace , im meaning the one under neath the car

i think you mean the rear sway bar but there many many braces that go under the car.

i dont think the EK came with one from factory but dont quote me on that, even if it did its best to upgrade, as OEM braces a thin and flimsy..

whats the least intrusive, legal way to improve handling on a '90 GL Civic HB?

ok thanks guys

i understand now , but what is the benefit of the sub frame kit ,

ive been reading and reading and i keep getting scared due to end links etc not fitting

i thought the last of the EK's there its straight bolt in

so now im cheap , im wondering would rear sway bar out of a VTI-R make any improvement by the way im not sure if the VTi-r came with rear sway bars so ya

plus i cant afford the front only 1 sway bar at a time

yes you can just install a EK4 or EM1 rear swaybar. Quite easy to do. IT will slightly improve handling. But save up for the ultimate combo.
You only need the REAR to improve handling

Rear swaybar plus ASR or BEAKS reinforcement.

If you are only going for the rear bar, then you could probably do it yourself. But if you want the caster kit and the full alignment too (which I definitely recommend) then you should goto whiteline. Woijtek (sp?) knows his stuff and you won't make full use of the kit unless you get a full alignment.

Their alignment machine is top class too.

did you have to change your LCA's for the caster kit

Sticky?

already is a sticky hehehehe

ok i understand now a white line kit includes the bushes etc to install

now i just got to wait for one for sale for cheap
