Ok since my name showed up so often i'll add my 5c.
The ASR kit is great, the whiteline brackets are crappy, the whiteline bar is very good though. This even includes the newer whiteline range with newer brackets, the quality is just not there. Their bolts are also not up to scratch. When you get the ASR brace you'll see what i mean about the quality about the parts.
I've seen the new model whiteline kit on an EK and the bracket actually was bending and this was only after 1 month! We had it on a hoist and looked at it.
All the Eks will be able to use the ASR brace along with the whiteline kits.
Note sure about others, but i would assume you could still make it work.
I know when i installed mine everyone told me you couldn't do it, but i was able to with little fuss.
the ASR + WHiteline bar is great, i've had mine now for over 6mths and very happy with it, even stopped some of the creaks from the larger bar, which i'm sure all whiteline bar owners know of and curse.
would it be better to run a stock sway bar or a whiteline with asr? its goin on an ek1.
Stock Sway bar with ASR.This is the message Bennjamin sent me,it's for an EK1 aswell gbang007:
ASR brace kit to suit EK ( all the same for EK's)
either a DC2R or EK9 rear swaybar
EK4 OR ek9 swaybar endlinks.
and you are set
Sorted.Now grab em'!!!
why stock just out of curiosity? i got a brace. just gotta look for sway.

ok. cool. thanks. i thought with the asr/whiteline combo, there is no problems. with the new upgraded whiteline, doesn't it fit easy too? have you got ur asr brace yet?

Don't just take people's advice without understanding what you want. This thread was more to let people know that the ASR + whiteline bars were possible not to give you guys a best choice combo.
im not tracking the car. just daily use but wanna bit more fun if possible out of an sohc non vtec lol.
I haven't got the ASR yet. I don't really want to spend $340 on it but I want one.... That's why I'm hoping to pick one up second hand.
Limbo is the ITR/CTR swaybars the DC2R or EK9 rear swaybar? What do you think is the best combo for the EK1?
The stiffer the better I reckon.As long as it dosen't make the ride uncomfortable...
