I actually have a skunk2 lower tie bar (Christmas present from a friend). Can it be an alternative AND get a larger sway bar without any problems?

From greasedmonkey's post, only the EX of our car came with a rear sway bar measured at 13mm. What would be considered "large" at this point?

- Tue Aug 23, 2011 8:21 pm #268612 Your best bet is to go with a asr reinforcement brace and arb kit.

Or the beaks arb reinforcement kit with an oem integra type r arb. This is the set up i run and its pretty awesome.

Otherwise, assuming you know what your allowed to do.

ITR rear sway with ASR subframe brace/reinforcement. The rear lower tie bar doesnt prevent subframe tearout.

Alot depends on the spring rates and shocks you are running as well. Sways should really be used to fine tune, once you have a good spring/shock combo.

As far as the front strut tower brace, i'd go with whatever looks good on ebay. If you pay more than $50 for a strut tower brace you've paid way too much.

Hey,

I'm in the SCCA solo2 group. Because of my wheels and some mods I've done to the car, I run with STX.

Spring rates I'm running are 10k/5k. I haven't messed with the shocks much. I'm waiting to find the rear sway and subframe to finish fine tuning the shocks for autocross.
