is this correct?

gsr rear sway bar 14mm

itr rear sway bar 22mm

 

si senor

 

mmmmmm

so what would a itr bar do over a gsr bar? i understand its a lot stiffer and will tear my subframe without that beaks kit... but how would my car react differently between the two bars? and what would be a good size for the front? my stock one is 21mm so thats no to bad

 

would an itr bar with the beaks kit for an ek fit?

 

Nah -- no way it's on upside down... and small? Compared to a stock bar...it's a baseball bat.

 

Rick, I have 26F and 22R - and I find the balance of the car neutral, even a little on the understeer side. You're proposing 21F and 14R or 21F and 22R. the 14R will be great for handling, but it will still have that understeer tendencies. Which is good for safe driving. The 22R will give you greater roll control, but a snappier rear end. Like if you go into an onramp a little hot, and then get caught behind some shmuck doing 40... you lift off the throttle and you'll prolly spin out (if the tires are already at their limit of adhesion). EK beaks kit will not fit EG.

 

A ITR rear sway on an EG hatch is almost dangerous.
you almost can't make a normal turn without squelling some rubber.

If this is the route you go, get some bad *** rubber.

 

ah i was just curious about the itr EK beaks kit cause someone pm'd saying he has one for sale... ah well it was 3 times what the gsr bar is being sold for anyways....

either way it'll be an improvement from what i have now... which is nothing

 

for the d brackets... one of them is missing from the gsr combo i'm getting... so i may as well just buy two... do i go to acura and ask for the specific year the car came from (2001) or does it matter

 

i may have an extra

 

how much are they retail? i went on acuraautomotiveparts.org and it was like $10 a piece... if thats the case i might just get all new shiney parts..

but let me know if you find it sam

 

I just had my set up installed today.
GSR front LCA w/polybushings
EG SI front bar 21mm (?)
GSR rear LCA w/polybushings
GSR rear bar 14mm
Tokico blues
Pro kit

It took me awhile to assemble the all parts from various TCC members. I had them installed by mrcivic18 and his partner because I don't have the tools or the talent to do it myself.

 

yeah that would suvk havin your buddy help you out your bar on and then you realize it was upside down
i my opinion thou handling was way better when it was like that
just safer the right way

 

very nice setup, im sure you will have fun with that... its not too extreem, but very well balanced, very practiacal daily setup. Its nice to see people takeing good advice when they see it!

 

definately good stuff... i'm hopefully getting some ef lca's then popping all the bushings out and putting my es ones in... then hook up that bad boy of a sway bar should be a fun set up when mines all done too

 

 

Thanks, that was the intent of my set up.

To tell you the truth, I'm a noob at this stuff and I just got lucky.
