Installed Pics: Front Strut and Rear Sway Bar

pengful · 09-22-2006, 06:55 AM

Some pics to share:

Front strut bar from Summit - kind of too orangey for my liking

Rear sway bar from Progress - 22mm (stock 11mm - how puny!)

FD in Asia = FG in NA

Does the front strut make a noticeable difference. I have the progress rear sway bar and tanabe under brace. Wounder if the front strut is worth it.

Personally, I feel that the car is stiffer and more willing to commit to a turn whenever I enter one at a high speed, around 50 mph. Overall, I would recommend it.

I paid USD100 including install.

So if the FD in Asia is the FG in America does that mean that all of those pieces will fit? They have a Front and Rear Lower Tie Bar, Front Tower Bar, and a Lower Subframe X-Brace.

The body frames are the same, only the front and rear lamps look different. Furthermore, left-hand drive and right-hand drive don't make a difference to the structure.

I am quite certain they'll fit.

CivicWithNav · 09-22-2006, 01:18 PM

i don't see any reason why it shouldn't fit at all

progress fit his car ...CSX, COUPE SEDAN

someone, sooner or later will make strut bars...i mean it's a CIVIC! lol

after looking at the pictures it made me think that i did not grease the bushing when i installed both of my front and rear si sways.. i has not made any noise so i guess i got the nuts tight enough.. does this in any way benifet the bars.. factory bars have no grease...

If you use the Honda bushings that go with the Si Sway bars (i.e. buy them when you buy the sway bars), you shouldn't use any grease. The Honda bushings are rubber which don't require grease (other materials like polyurethane/plastic do require a lubricant).

I have have my front and rear Si sway bars on for a few months now (with the honda bushings), and have had no noise or problems. Well, actually on the first day, they made a bit of noise going over speed bumps, but nothing since then.

How is it with the upgraded rear anti-sway bar? Much more prone to oversteer now?

Zeuceone · 12-29-2006, 07:38 PM

all those parts from summit will fit our cars.

Check out www.corsportusa.com for the front strut bar. I have the lower H brace and I'm getting ready for the front and rear lower tie bars. For those items gor to www.Ebstores.us.com
