EFs Came with Front Sway Bars???

[southside]

Well I went to pullapart today and was checking out some efs.I ran up on a 4dr lx was checking for shift linkage.When I seen they had a tiny sway bar that looked similar to the one I seen an old asian guy stealing off a 94 teg. Then I figured maybe its just for the 4drs. Well I happen to find a white hatch same thing once I checked the linkage I spotted another one.WTF man why doesnt my car have it then.Well my brother pointed out you have integra setup. dammit man.So now I dont know if I buy a aftermarket sway bar setup if it will even work on mine.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure all ef's came with front sway bars, And I believe all of them except for the hf (Hx, in hatch?) came with a rear one as well. What do you mean you have an integra setup? Do you have integra front knuckles? Sorry, I don't remember your setup. An aftermarket one should fit fine, even with integra knuckles, but I would do some research first, just to make sure.

I've got integra knuckles and trailing arms and brake setup in the rear.I dont think mines has the holes for the sway bars on the one I have.Maybe they do but I know I dont have a sway bar. Imma check in the morning and if I do Ill prolly get the one off the hatch.

All EF had front sway bar. Only Si crx & hatch came with rear though.

They will work just fine.

Actually, the STD hatches did not come with any sway bars. The HFs had a smaller front bar than the Sis. An Si or HF front bar can be added to the front of a STD by getting the bar, the drop links and the the brackets and bushings that hold the bar to the front rear cross member.


Here's the thing, though, don't add the front bar if you don't have something in the rear. All the front bar will end up doing is making the car understeer even more than it already does. If your car is running the stock '90-'91 rear LCAs, you'll likely need to add an aftermarket rear bar since the mounting boss isn't on those LCAs and the mounting holes for the stock brackets are supposed be threaded on car that did come with a rear bar (holy run on sentence, oh well).

and under the back of the car there are 4 small holes that are coverd in dirt.More than likely they are for the rear sway. Also heard that integra lcas are shorter or longer than efs.

My car is a 90 and it has the rear wholes for the brackets,but no holes on the lca!

Thanks smart a/ss but I figured that out already

Perhaps it was option on the STD, i have removed a bar from a STD at pull apart that was the same diameter as my DX.

I dont know I will be checking to see if I have the wholes.If so back to pull a part for me

Some people go with an hf front bar and a big rear bar for more oversteer (loose rear end). I stuck with the stock si front sway bar and the st adjustable rear for now.....

[southside]

Im hoping the mexicans I got my car from didnt take it off.Then I wont have to spend more cash to put it back on!

Dammit they did take my sway bar off,I was putting my back mount and poly shifter bushings in yesterday.I realized that the sway bar was missing ,so guess its back to the junkyard to spend more money on getting back to OEM.
