Stiffer chasis...

[EK Civic R]

Hi,

I have EG civic and I have just got new suspension...
So far I have f/r strut bars and ITR sway bars...

But I have this feeling, when driving on twisty roads, that the chasis seems to be flexing... I'm not to sure how to describe it, but I can also hear this sound like metal flexing...

What can I do to stop this flex and noise without going over board eg roll cage....

as many bars as possible

B Pillar Bar
C Pillar Bar
Trunk Bar
Floor Bar
Fender Brace

thats all I can think of now...

Does anyone have any pictures of a floor bar or a fender brace?
I can't quite picture where they go in my head.

The fender braces go under the front fenders. And the floor bar goes along the floor behind the front seats (where the back seat passengers feet go)

I think you should do it in this order:

1) Front Strut
2) Rear Strut
3) Rear Swaybar
4) C Pillar Bar
5) Front Swaybar
6) B Pillar Bar
7) Floor Bar
8) Fender Brace

But it all depends on convenience. The only reason I put C pillar before B pillar is because it doesn't effect people trying to get into the rear seats.

I would personally do it in this order (based on most effective first)

1. Rear Swaybar with tiebar
2. Rear Strut (if hatch, otherwise swap with #3)
3. Front Strut
4. Front Swaybar
5. C Pillar Bar
6. B Pillar Bar
7. Floor Bar
8. Fender Brace

i spend few years to collect the following items:

1) Front Strut
2) Rear Strut
3) Rear Swaybar
4) Front Swaybar
5) Tein Coilovers

So far no one can beat me in round about......is money well spend so give it a go~

a little flex isnt such a bad thing.

and trev your right about all those bars, but by the time you've finished buying all of them, you could of had a welded, painted cage

[ekslut]

yeah, I know. But if you want something that is easy to remove, the bars are easier. Just simply bolt on.

So many bars..
I'll have to buy and try i guess...

Do-luck makes some quality stiffness adjustable bars

[bennjamin]

start with a front and rear upper strut brace. Then , if not stiff enough venture into lower trailing bars etc and b/c pillar bars etc.

Or maybe jkust get a larger rear swaybar and make that suspension work harder instead of worryign of "body flex"
