I currently have the dc sports rear lower tie on my civic, but ever since I have had it on there it creaks alot. Is this normal or should I start looking for a different brand?

carpe diem....is your car lowered? because if it is i have the same creaking noise...its more pronounced in the morning when its cold...the place where i got my car lowered said it was a bushing inside the strut tower...its a honda defect...when you lower our cars the bushing makes that noise. its also more pronounced the more you lower your car

It is not really a defect it is what you get when you lower a car and keep the stock parts. You cannot really tell with unibody cars. They flex and noises can happen everywhere a part meets another.

Don't know why we started talking about sway bars? Anyway, the DC Sports rear tie bar sucks *****. I sold mine because it wasn't doing anything for me. Hey, now back to the subject of sway bars. Get a Progress Group rear sway bar! it has an integrated tie bar and it rocks!

shunk2 is not bad..

i swear i seen more rear tir bars for our cars..

i could be wrong..

I guess there is other brands... AC technica whatever... OBX.... etc.

all the same. just get solid piece ones without pivot points...

and I think the only ones are neuspeed and skunk2..

or any other integrated rear tie bar/rear sway bar... (progress, comptechusa)

Neuspeed is solid with no pivit points....I saw it in the catalog and put one on order with the upper front tower bar (black)....I'll let you know how it goes

Hey Capyoda, why would you say the dc lower tie bar is "crap" ?

ProCarParts.com makes a tie bar for our cars. Their service sucks though. I heard they've messed up a lot of orders for people who own our cars. They even messed up mine. I have to resend the product they sent me because what I got didn't fit. They will reimburse me for shipping though. From what I heard, their tie bar is pretty good.

I have a Dc lower tie and mine doesnt creak and it works fine...im pretty sure if you get an obx or other brand itll probably do the same thing though

 
Rep Power: 368

thats why it kinda sucks.. cuz of the price attach to it, and its actual functionality...

I dont know, I'm not fond of DC sports, i think its a over hyped brand name.... obviously I'm biased.

but um, their design jsut doesn't work for me.. a solid piece bar or a bar without pivot point just works better than a bar with pivot points.

for the price of DC, u might as well get an ebay bar.

yup, imma have to agree. dc bars are the same design as e-bay bars. thats why i like neuspeed. but ya i dont think they have a tie bar yet

A rear tie bar without a bigger sway bar does nothing for our cars except look good.
