Tie Bars and Sway bars - Page 4

So I guess If I don't need adjustable I should go for the progress.

Cause 400$ is beyond my budget for a sway bar and tie bar.

What about buying the comptech tie bar and sway bar seperately. It wont be adjustable but will it better than the progress?

I'm probably going to buy the $99 comptech bar and make a tiebar. The progress bar's problems isn't worth the tie bar it comes with.

Have you guys heard of suspension techniques?

I can get one of there bars locally.

ST makes some good stuff too. I would buy the comptech bar and a generic tie. But progress is good too, but you will have to upgrade your endlinks.

AceKicker · 10-09-2004

that is what I did. I got the progress front and rear sway bar from dezod and I bought the upgraded end-links from one guy on the site.

Will I need end links if I get the comptech bar?

bump

some say yes, some say no. boiler has been fine without them, but you never know. It is always better just to pick up a pair. The worse that can happen is one breaks you get more understeer. Then you just buy a better set from Grey or Hotchkis or Function 7

If I buy the 22mm rear rsx sway bar do I buy endi links for the rsx or for a civic?

robbclark1 · 10-10-2004

they are the same endlinks for the RSX and civic. The type R might have different ones, but you might as well get better aftermarket ones than is on the type R.

cool

Who knows I might just go for the 25.4 mm hotchkis with the hotchkis end links. I'll call them to find out if I could buy the rear bar only.

Zzyzx which rear bar do you have?

So far for my suspension upgrades I'm thinking

Tokiko D-specs shocks
Eibach sportlines(or tein s techs)
hotchkis 25.4 mm rear sway bar with end links and no tie bar for now.

If I gonna install lowering springs I might aswell do the shocks at the same time.

robbclark1 · 10-10-2004

you can't buy the 25.4 by itself. Spencer (zzyzx) tried and he sold the front bar to someone with an EP3. Grey's endlinks or Function 7's endlinks are probably just as good as hotchkis and cheaper.

the 25.4mm RSX front doesn't fit our car? hmmmmmm, irregardless even if it does fit it makes no sense to change the stock 25.4mm to put in this 25.4 hotchkis bar. I don't think the hollowness really saves that much weight.

do you know who sells grey's endlinks or fnction 7's?

robbclark1 · 10-10-2004

I may or may not fit. It depends on your trim level. Someone says the front bars fit a LX which means it might fit a DX too. But again, why change it to an equal size. The RSX front bar is smaller than ours. I think around 16mm.

Grey sells his endlinks. He is a member. Function 7 has a website and someone from their business registered here. I think his name on the site is function 7. I don't know how much their endlinks are though.
