Hi guys. Here are some pics of the new whiteline sway bar for ek civics. It has a new reinforced bar (similar to the ASR brace) and I must say that it does the job.
Got any better pics of how the bar attaches to the reinforcement piece?
Are they still using the standard mounting bolts that they have in the past?
Okie dokie, to answer your questions:
1. I will measure the exact thickness of the metal and I will get back to you.
2. These are the only photos that I have. I can increase their size for you if it helps.
3. From what Wojtek told me, they are now using different bolts. In terms of tensile strength, I'm not sure of what grade they are, but ur best of asking Wojtek that directly.
I'll update the photos after work this evening and measure the thickness of the metal when I get my car back today. As a comparison, do you know what the thickness of the ASR brace is?
Did they redo the EG rear sawbar aswell or was it just for the EK?
From what I know, they just revised the ek's rear sway bar due to some complaints they received regarding subframe tearing/damage. Don't hold me to that though...it might be best that you contact whiteline.

Not sure, but from the pics, it would appear thicker than that.
It is hard to see from the pictures, but do the c clamp bolts go through just the reinforcement plate/bar or is there something else behind it?
See a good post? Give it a PQ point.

Hey Zdster, they just go through the metal plate by the looks of things. And how much thicker is the ASR brace? I heard Ben say that it was thinner than the ASR brace...but I'm really curious as to how much thicker it is. You might be able to see it better when I enlarge the pics.
It IS slightly thinner than the ASR brace
And It IS made of solid steel as opposed to the alloy ASR.
IT looks impressive but it is the prototype...
IT has a slightly thicker bar in the middle acting as a tiebar.
It dosent have any rear reinforcement (like ASR or beaks etc) which is THE weakpoint.
I hope whiteline addresses this asap... perhaps a solid link with 2 holes at the rear will be good
