Default How to swaybar

I have a VX and they dont come equipped with a stock swaybay, butI want to add one. Is there a kit available or would i have to fabricate something? Body roll is lame!

You need the front control arms from a 92-95 Si, and the sway bar(you can get an aftermarket thinker one) and install that, i o believe you can even get sway bars and controllarm kits from an ITR and install that.

Im still trying to figure the body mounts for one on the front, but the best answer for a rear one is to get the Comptech set. it comes with a rear lower tie bar that the sway bar mounts to so it cant rip out the subframe. then you just have to swap the LCAs. Im going to figure out a body mount for the fronts this summer though. I might have to drill and weld in a mount, but we'll see.

well this is shaping up to be quitethe project.ya think its worth it? i guess the fr swaybar would have the biggest effect (?) on handling... but theres no kit for the fr?


maybe i should just go with the coilovers for now. hmm...

rear will help a lot. i have a small aftermarket one on mine now and its a huge improvement. but the sway bars on both is key to performance. I have a scrubbing issue when i race that will be cured by a decent front sway, and it should help my understeer a lot. i say its going to be worth it, and ill see if some sort of kit is possible, and if it is, ill try to pull some strings to get it produced.

you can find them that way, but our cars didnt come with any mounting places for one. Ive got 2 front sways, one aftermarket, and one JDM integra, and almost all of the other bits i need sitting in my garage, i just need a little spare time and a way to mount them to the chassis.
