ASR brace works perfect on the EK. Definetly will save you from cracking the rear crossmember.

Really? I know that definatly wouldnt of fixed my issues. Im guessing maby the designs different between the bars we both used.

Mine was for the eks without an oem rear bar, im not sure if its any different.
Maby also they changed the bars design, when they changed to their heavy duty mounting system? (mines from before the mounting system revamp)

In my case, what bushings i use wont change a thing.
The issue is that with whatever bushings, with them mounted to the asr brace, the points where the bar would sit in the bushings is actually not a straight bar. There are two small bends, at the same spacing apart as the bushings on the asr brace. And as im certain your aware, the bar needs to be parralell to the hole throught the bushings.

Whiteline designed for the bushings to sit 2-3 inches further apart than the asr brace allows, the only option would be to have the bushings further together, or further apart, to clear the bends, so only straight bar is running through them.

For example:


See here, the only way for me to mount the bar to the brace was to space the bushings further apart then the mounting holes on the asr brace, with the bushings closer together, there gonna be right where those little bends in the bar are located.

for hassle free driving , purchase a ASR or BEAKS kit and use a OEM 22 or 23mm rear swaybar off a DC2R or a EK9

i just put on an OEM EM1 swaybar on the rear and i love it.. cant imagine how much of a diff 22mm would make wen im only running 13mm! maybe in the future wen i get bored and can afford a ASR kit!

Wat you need to do, is find somone whos recently brought a 22mm whiteline bar for your car, shouldnt be to hard.

Ask them if those two small bends are in the bar, if so, no go.

Im guessing that when whiteline decided to design a heavy duty mounting system, they changed the bars design aswell to make it compatable with the popular ASR brace. Hence why ricer had no issues with compatability.

Ricer, how long ago did you do this install?

the bar itself is probably 2 years old by now... was running the normal whiteline reinforcement and tie bar combo
installed about 5 months ago on asr using after market d brackets but original whiteline bushes...

Thats weird, did your bar have those little bends that line up with bushings mounted on the asr brace?

Ill look into that. Thanks guys...

I 2nd this
EK9 rear sway bar (plus OEM mounts+brackets) plus Beaks kit is a sure fit.
Had not problems at all fitting it.
not as *bling* as the ASR, but does the job. (cheaper too, looks great if you also get the Beaks Tie bar !!!)

Re: "It does the job" - have a search of Honda-Tech before stating this!

P.S. If someone wants me to explain further let me know .
