Suspension Technique Sway Bars.

[91 LX]

I'm looking for a picture of the front suspension techniques sway bar installed. Can anyone help me out?

sorry to rain on your parade, but the front sway bar will create MORE understeer. better to keep the oem front and upgrade the rear.

I have the rear installed heres a comparison pic


here it is installed

Isn't that the swaybar that does not need the EX crossmember when it is installed for LX?

I dunno, but supposedly your supposed to drill holes in your trailing arm ( I think but i know I could be wrong. Its the long part with holes that connects to where your spindle is) about an inch a head of the current ones if you have one, but I didn't drill holes and everything lined up fine

If you want to use the EX rear bar on a lower trim level you have to drill holes. You do NOT need to drill holes for the ST rear swaybar. Why do you say the front ST bar causes more understeer?

Because he wasn't thinking about installed the matched pair of bars, I suspect.

No. Rear sway bar makes the car more neutral. Adding the front one too takes that neutrality away.

Don't bother with the lower tie bars.

IMO I prefer a matched set of sways front and back, sure it may fuck with the understeer/oversteer, but it will help handling through keeping the bodyroll under control, and then you can still easily tune for understeer/oversteer preference via tire pressure.

I see lots of opinions in that thread.
I've installed the bars on my car, and know how it handles.
Roll balance is important.

Have you removed the factory front bar on your car?

I've got the matched set as well and it couldn't be more neutral in my opinion. If anything I need to watch for oversteer now.


And I got the set for 250 from Summit Racing.

Couple pics for ya....

Stock front vs. ST:





Only installed shot I got:



And you didn't ask for it, but here it is anyway. Rear bar installed:

From experience a lot of people on this site will tell you everyone else's opinion on certain parts before actually trying them for themselves, so maybe he has pulled his but I highly doubt it.

Most people on the board will also never corner at a high enough speed on the streets to notice the understeer produced by the front bar, which from personal experience the understeer fades with the rear bar installed

K-5 yo. Remember how well we did up there? I had that one pucker when the rear tried breaking loose on that blind right hander......
