Well Dougie, like a said the ef swaybar doesn't even mount to the subframe.

Yeah bro, I'm talking about my '94 Civic sedan. I've already got a DC2R RSB which I picked up for $120. I thought it was a steal so couldn't resist, but I'm hesitant to install it until I have a good SFB. It's already got Bilstein coilovers and JDM lower LCA's so I think the RSB would really improve the handling.
For my EF8 I'm not sure what to do. I'll check out the setup underneath next time I have it out (only drive it once a week or so) and if there's no point getting a SFB for the EF8 then I'll probably go for a Tanabe RSB rather than the ASR.

A little off topic but I have been doing a bit of reading on track prep of EFs and have read of multiple rear subframe failures, so some sort of subframe brace might be a decent idea. The failures are not due to the sway bar loads since the rear sway on an EF mounts off the frame in a different location, but purely due to the cornering loads transmitted through the LCAs into the subframe. I am considering the ASR brace just because it comes in black.

Very interesting. A few of my friends track their EF8's and haven't had any issues, but I'll ask them what they think anyway
