[bubblecivic]

hey ppl, im looking to get a rear sway bar for my ek4.

any suggestions on what i should go for?

Depends on what spring rates you are running. If you are not going more than 250 lbs/in rear springs then I recommend:

EK9 Civic Type R 22mm rear sway bar with ASR reinforcement kit.

u pretty much have the choice of oem ek9 22mm rear or whiteline swaybars etc. since the ek4 have a 26mm front putting in a 22mm rear would be the same setup as the ek9, so cant go wrong there. but either case u would need a subframe reinforcement kit.

[bubblecivic]

how much ek9 ones goin for?

what reinforcement sub should i get to go with the ek9 rear sway?

thanks for the help guys

[Dell99]

as stated. For the reinforcement go for ASR

EK4 should already have a 14mm rear sway ... I can never remember which which is which ..

With the rear sway bar it's the end links which are a nightmare and might cost you as much as the bar itself.

ITR rear bar uses some unique bushes in the endlinks. ASR do a package with all the bits from memory.

Whiteline subframe had some issues if not done correctly, but they're local and if you drop
by or call, I don't think anyone can fault their support.

Whiteline bar as three different mounting points and is thus adjustable.

You'll need D poly bushes also, Superpro or Whiteline both local.

Whiteline subframe and Whiteline swaybar.
or
ASR subframe plate and ITR sway bar

The different combinations of brace and bar are not compatible.

Step 1: Buy ASR reinforcement kit for EK Civic.
Step 2: Buy OEM EK9 Civic Type R 22mm rear sway bar with 22mm bushes and bracket.

The above setup is what I have on my EK4. It is a direct bolt-on. No endlink issues at all. EK4 and EK9 uses the same endlinks for the rear sway bar.

Do not buy the DC2 Integra Type R sway bar as you will have endlink issues. You can still get it to work but a lot more effort and cost.

all ek use same endlinks, if you wanna run a dc2r swaybar you gotta use dc2r lca.
but anyway for prices
ek9 rearswaybar brand new endlinks brackets all inclusive $250
ASR brace brand new $325
anymore then that your getting ripped off.
