Rear swaybar swap

wrxsti03 · 01-13-2007, 11:42 PM

I switched out my rear bar from a SI coupe.

I used the OEM U brackets, bushings, L brackets and U bracket bolts from the SI. The only thing I reused was the end links. The L bracket attaches to the vehicle chassis.

Haven't had much driving time with it yet but The vehicle does seem more agile in the turns etc. Next step is to switch out the front bar.

Here you can see the differences in them.

Very nice, put some pictures also when you get the front sway bar! +1

Just did the front and rear sway bars on my Hybrid. I used the Civic Si's front (28mm solid) and rears (17mm hollow). It made a huge difference in the handling. I took it around the block with just the rear on first. You could tell there was a difference, but not that great. Once the front was on too... wow! So go and order that front bar!

Gotta love OEM fit and quality. They just dropped right in with no fuss at all. Of course you'll need all the recommended supporting brackets, bushings and bolts. I highly recommend it and you can't beat it for the price. HondaPartsDeals.com had great prices on them. Funny though, they weren't shipped in boxes... the bars literally had a little paper flag on them with the address and that's it! They didn't seem banged up or damaged though, afterall they are made of steal.

So for less than $140 shipped it's worth every penny if not double that.
