rear.... depends on you..... depends onif ya hual stuff...... since my subwoofer box is in the way of my upper strut brace location.... so if anything im just gonna use EVENTUALY use a lower strut brace.. |
RE: anti sway bars, front and back or just front?
well i think he was talking about sways not strut bars (which btw are much more effective). Umm, it all depends, on how the car is right now, and how you want it to be. Adding sways to either will reduce body rol A LOT. Putting them up front will keep it from diving under hard cornering, but will also increase understeer. A rear one will decrease understeer and increase oversteer. My car comes stock with a front sway, but since I know most civics have an understeer tendency (normal with a front wheel drive), I plan on getting a bigger rear than the factory front to help sway the balance more towards oversteer.

^ i know, i was just saying that you can't really compare them in any way considering they're complete different parts. That's like comparing tires to lug nuts, there's no relation.

ok sorry. I just meant he'd notice a bigger difference and get better gains in performance out of sways. but i get what you mean about them being for different things, one for chassis flex and the other for body lean.
