Tie Bar & Anti Sway Bar

[Konstantin]

Question.

On my buddies EF, there is no room to but both the rear lower tie/strut bar and his rear (larger) antisway bar. He claims that its not doable.

I don't see how this is possible. Surely there are rear anti sway bars out there that have in mind that you'd also want to put on a tie bar.

Anyone know anything on the subject? THanks.

I have an ST rear sway bar with a Neuspeed rear lower tie bar. The exhaust is more in the way than the tie bar is.

[Konstantin]

Any way you can take a pic and e-mail it to me (or alternately post it up)? I'd like to see.

[jfrolang]

Here you go.

[bigdare23]

I heard that you cant run both the neuspeed sway and tie bar at the same time.

how do you like your ST bar jfro? What mm is it?

oh I like it. If you come into a corner too fast you will get oversteer, especially when you lift the throttle to try to scrub off speed. Caught me off guard. It's 22mm.

[Konstantin]

very nice. thanks very much.

I gotta admit though, ya boy Jfrolang has one of the most complete CRXs out there. Little of everything .. definitely got me on suspension cause my car sways like a Cadillac!

Nice, 1mm bigger than the DC2 ITR.... only the car weighs 500lb less.

Are you running a ST front? Or did you remain stock?

I heard you dont need an aftermarket front sway bar.

[ash7]

It's all driver preference man, I'm running a stock HF in the front of my Si.

Really, none of us need to do anything to our cars.... *ahem* unless your name is 90 ZC Hatch, in which case you just need to take the plunge and drop a B series powerhouse into your car.

I have the stock front sway bar with poly bushings and new endlinks.

lololol i'm workin on it. If i give my dad a grand then he'll give me his motor and buy a b18c5, but he has to get the money first, and i need to decide if i want to put a b16 in my current EF, or put it in another EF.

[ash7]

I think the answer is obvious...

dont' make the same mistake i did and get rid of your baby man. Keep it for the B series.

I'd just hate to dump all that money into my EF. I'll probably do that when i get another car. I've always wanted like an 00' Si civic. so if i could get one of those then keep my EF as a project car, then i'd proally turbo the ZC or somethin

[ash7]

00 Si civics are overrated and far too common.

Nicely kept EFs are far and few in between. Sure, they're all over the place; but one that is in very good shape, and well thought out is truly hard to find.

[Papa_Smurf]

ik ik, but i've always liked the body style of the 00 Si.

Sure ef's all over the place? Well at least not down here. Just a couple of them that I know.

[Konstantin]

Around roswell I only see maybe 1-2 a week, excluding my freinds that I see on a regular basis. EFs are getting more and more rare.

Including all the ones that are falling apart being driven by folks who bought them for 20 bucks at the flea market? lol

-jonathan

[I <3 my EF]

Yes including those...

actually, the usdm itr is 22mm and the jdm itr is 23mm:

AND the ST rear swaybar is 19mm iirc, but is has three different stiffness settings. I have this same bar on my ef.

[jfrolang]

My ST rear bar is definitely 22mm. And yeah, it does have 3 settings.
