Whiteline Swaybar for VTi-R with ITR LCA's

**rikstar** · 31-01-2007 02:45 PM

Hey all,

I have a 98’ Integra VTi-R and i’m planning to fit ITR shocks with the mandatory ITR LCA’s. My question is… if I were to get a rear sway bar from Whiteline would I need to order one for a VTi-R or ITR as I will have ITR LCA’s fitted.

Cheers,

Rik

get the VTiR swaybar. It will fit all the same.

IF you have a ITR then you need the ITR replacement bar , as the reinforcement location is slightly different

cool thanks for the confirmation.

Are you sure Ben?

Whiteline lists the DC2R and DC2 swaybars as the same part numbers.

strange , since the DC2 bar = EG = DC4 bar too , and its only 22mm thick. (20/22mm adjustable)
AFAIK the DC2R comes with a 24mm upgrade option ?

Anyway , as the original question was , get the VTiR optional bar and reinforcement to suit

Hey guys,

I had the rear ITR shocks with Eibach springs installed on my car this weekend along with a Whiteline 22m swaybar. Lots of improvements noticed but there seems to be a noise coming from the rear of the car when I’m driving… it sounds like metal hitting metal sound. I had a quick look underneath the car and the new rear swaybar is sitting very close to the LCA’s. And this looks like the issue… everything else looks like it’s been bolted on tightly.

Has anyone else out there installed ITR LCA’s on a non Type-R teg with a whiteline rear swaybar? If so did you experience the same issue?

I have ITR LCA's on a EG - and the LCA's are the same bush dimensions as stock. BUT the ITR LCA is thicker than the stock LCA ( double sided rather than single cast metal)
I have seen this issue before - the issue you are having is the swaybar hitting the LCA.
It can be rectified by either replacing the swaybar with a slightly redesigned one , or replace the LCA (and rear suspension) with the stock one.
It hits , because this swaybar wasnt designed for the ITR LCA dimensions.

pardon my ignorance but if you knew there were issues with this setup why didn't warn the guy in your first post before he went and installed it. Not having a dig at you or anything but noobs like me need all the help we can get.

well being a n00b, it woulda helped to search the topic of whiteline swaybars

anyway, the swaybar hitting the rear LCA's is one of the most common problems most integra owners, among others, experience. If its not the LCA's its usually the exhaust if its a modified exhaust.

the kid asked if to get ITR or vtir bar.
I knew there has been issues with these bars and ITR rear LCA's. Not with my own setup , but it has been the case with a few people. And now i have added info to what is most likely the problem.
