Sway Bars!

[CWBETB]

I just picked up 2 sway bars "front and rear" from a 92 Integra today!!! I got them both for 40 bucks! Im hoping they should bolt up fine "Correct NC REX?"

Habib, any ideas how it will ride with the sway bars?

Thanks guys

They will bolt right on..

I don't think they are any thicker than the stock Si ones though..

Siz mine is a DX, so It may be smaller. I was looking at my front sway bar last night and it looked smaller. I take it I have no rear sway bar in my car at all? I didnt get the car jacked up yet

i don't know if this helps... but i've found this site useful before. www.hondaautomotiveparts.com has parts diagrams for most honda cars.

Erik - they are two L-shaped brackets with "d" clamps and bushes for the rear right?

Assuming it's similar to the SiR, the L brackets bolt to the chassis rails (whatever ) and then the bar center clamps to these and to the trailing arms. It's dark ATM, but if you want, tomorrow I'll take some pics of my standard setup. Of course, NC_Rex might have an alternative for USDM Civics.

Cheers

Thanks for the pics and info guys. I have an idea now how it goes in the rear, but i still dont get where the end sections mount on my control arm, I have no holes or anything on my control arms. The ends have holes in them as if there should be some type of bolt that goes in them?

Hey Habib! Master of the suspension! Thanks for the info, I was starting to think that was the case....damn DX! Anyway what I might do is this, I know a guy selling CRX Si rear disc brakes, Ill see if he has the lower control arm as well!

Habib, what about the front suspension? Do DX's even have sway bars in the front? I never noticed one on mine, would I have any problems mounting the front?? Thanks buddy

Habib to the rescue...(sorry i'm late folks )

Well eric...you encountering EXACTLY what i had to deal with on my DX. The DX and Si have different rear control arms. They are molded the same, except the Si has the swaybar mounting holes, the DX does not.

What you have to do, find a set of Si lower rear control arms (the holes you need are like molded to the middle/top side of the arm you can't miss them). Now listen...the arms must come from a 89-91 Civic/CRX Si...the reason? any 88 year civic (aka my old DX or my friends CRX Si) has control arms that are square and resemble the control arms on a ITR (neat huh?) but they are pretty much incompatable with anything so if you have a 88, yea its a good idea to find 89-91 Si arms as well, (i've heard the progress bar will fit any 4g regarless, i'd mail them to check). The integra control arms might be the same i'm not sure (so where is NC_Rex? )

Ok...i feel better now hehe, keepin commin eric i'm here for you, hit me up on AOL we can talk: habibswd
