Tie Bars and Sway bars - Page 2

Going with the 19mm bar is a good first step, and I ran my car like that for little under a year. Theres little point in seting up a car to the point where you arnt ready to deal with what it wants to do... so if you build slowly, you'll be able to build the skills to match the cars new capabilities.

And its not an expensive, thats another thing that attracted me. Good bang for my buck.

I've seen some posts of people installing 22mm in the rear.

With your Set-up you can probabaly flick your car into 180 degree turns? I read some car tunning tables from http://catalog.com/susq/other/stuning.htm#ndx . You've done a lot of stuff to your car that they show increases oversteer and reduces understeer(You really know your shiat!).

The car is really fun to drive right now, but I'm still getting more understeer then I'd like. But I think I can tune that out with the right alignment. if that doesnt do it, different springs or a larger rear anti-roll bar may be in order.

Couple of down sides to how I've tuned my car.

1. the List of people I would trust to drive my car Safely has Progressivly Dwindled...
2. the car isnt all that forgiving to my mistakes.
3. I have to be especially carefull in the rain or any other Low grip situation

your gonna put more negative camber, and more positive caster? I don't know the diff between the two its just something I read of the link.

robbclark1 · 09-15-2004

There is a link in there that explains them both. Read Mike Kojima's Sentra page. He is a god of suspension.

We can't change the caster on our car.

I was ready to purchase the sway bar I just needed to know if this one fit my car. Dezod is selling it. (Ex Coupe)

Comptech Rear Sway Bar Kit-RSX 02-03 & Honda Civic SI 03-04 (22mm solid rear bar).

Yes, the comptech kit fits the car... I have that bar, it bolts right in.

Thanks

Thanks everyone

Problemo,

Dezod doesn't have the comptech in stock, he has this grenish blue one by progress. Which is better? Is it better to wait an extra 2 weeks for a comptech?

robbclark1 · 10-07-2004

comptech supposedly is designed better but progress has an integrated tie bar.

nindoo · 10-07-2004

Fudge I had a feeling the comptech was better.

My other option was a seller on Ebay was selling a 22mm directly from Honda.

I figured the sellers that sponsered this site were more legit than dudes on ebay. Thats why I wanted the comptech from Dezod.

So does Comptech... its just $400. But if you want to get technical, the Comptech integrated bar is designed MUCH better than that piece of junk from progress.
