i think u can get some of the older gen ones to work just have to modify it a bit
i prefer getting a rear sway bar! i think that helps way more!

[jonavin]

Already got a rear sway bar. Do they have larger ones available yet?

[Booohahaha]

i dont mean the one that goes under the car i meant the one thats in ur trunk like how trd has it for the celica in the trunk it really works. it was sweet handling!!!!
im pretty sure there are some out but their expensive though!

[DriftR]

Yes. Suspension Techniques is coming out with a 19mm rear stabilzer bar. Will be out around may. If want to hookups, lemme know in May.
I can prolly get it for 260 CDN when it's normally 240 USD

Oh and the rear upper strut bar, I think Neuspeed has one big$$$$$$$$$$$ and OBX also. But the obx bar you can buy for about 50USD on ebay and get someone to weld the joints to make it rock solid.

jonavin: which one do you have? for rear sway bar

[jonavin]

The rear sway bar comes with the car. It's just 13mm, and looks pathetic. I need bigger sway bars... but until then, i'm looking for a reat strut brace. Yes, the one that goes in the trunk, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

I need hook-ups. Upgrading my suspension piece by piece.

[Booohahaha]

yea im looking for something like that too!!!!
i think that would be hype but for people with subs and amps wont it make the trunk room smaller?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

[fastspeed]

you can work around a strut brace but it does require custom enclosures to do so.

[Firefly]

Spend your money on springs and shocks first!!

[fastspeed]

i tend to agree.

[Booohahaha]

me?? i already have springs.. im waiting for real shocks not add on sleeves

[fastspeed]

which shocks do you want boo?

[Booohahaha]

i dunno
i really want koni or tokico's but its got to be full shocks...everyone says they got shocks out but their really add on sleeves thats a big no no. why should i still use my stock ones??? i want full SHOCKS!!!!
makes me want to save up for a 92 hatch and do that up!

[CiViCBoY]

You could wait for KYB's too. They're pretty good shocks and cheaper than Koni's or Tockico's. You know how much I paid for setup on my old 'civ and those were with the Koni Yellows...awesome shocks but very $$$$.

Also Tien, one of the best straight from Japan

I have a spoon sports rear upper strut bar in my 99 and I can say it doesn't make too big a difference maybe as final final piece of your suspension upgrade but early on I wouldn't bother.

[DriftR]

well, I got hookups for koni yellows if anyone's interested. Remember folks, I get stuff for cheap cuz i'm pretty buddy buddy with speedtech and they have low markups as it is...

as for the rear strut brace, it doesn't take up any room, if u guys look, it goes on the floor of the trunk right behind the seats are. Out of the way of everything.

drift R: around how much are those koni..

[CiViCBoY]

You don't really need all these bars unless you're doing circuit racing. You'll hardly notice a difference with them on the street. I know, I used to visit the circuits with ma old civ.

[CiViCBoY]

Besides, you shouldn't be cornering at high speeds on local streets anyways....seen too many accidents and even deaths back in the day.

[insomniac]

How much would Koni yellows be for a 99 civic?

[klam]

Too large a sway bar can lead to oversteer... which could be dangerous on streets.

[black2k1vtec]

Fish-tailing is fun though!
How much for the Koni Yellows???

[1028CiViC]

yea...i need koni's yellow..
