Front and Rear Lower Tie Bar / Hbrace

***unplugged*** · 03-23-2007, 02:18 PM

Anyone have this setup installed? Is it worth getting the front and rear lower tie bar, or just the h-brace?

I'm looking to stiffen up the lower chasis, i'm thinking the h-brace might be better than the tie bars?

Looking to hear from what you guys have to say who have it installed.

So far I have the Si front and rear sway bars installed and I felt a great difference in stiffness and turning.

Your best bet is just go with the h brace for the front and the megan lower rear tie bar, the h brace will stiffen up the front enough to the point in which the front tie bar is un noticeable ,plus the front stock sway bar os pretty beefy for a civic and the rear is so tiny .The best mods for your suspension you can get at this point are 1. h brace 2 lower rear tie bar 3 skunk camber kit {even if you didn't lower the car in the future you will need to adjust the allignment and the rear has no adjustment .And finnaly wait for the koni struts and shocks that will be hear in a few months

I have both the Front, Rear and H brace installed and yes I can tell you that the Chassis is noticably stiffer. However these bars should not be the first thing on your grocery list, Also Be prepared to scrape on everything..

i dont scrape anywhere. except this one time on this huge ass speed bump and that was only because i was going to fast and didnt slow down.

why do you say that? I'm not going to lower the car right now because i'm waiting for the koni yellows to be released. I want to do the springs/shocks together.

Also, did you remove the front lower tie bar and notice a difference at all?

That's what I'm wondering as well.

***unplugged*** · 03-23-2007, 11:21 PM

from ex to si it was a noticeable difference in handling, but how much more for progress.. that is the question..haha

I'll probably get it this summer along with some steel endlinks.

i think i'm going to order everything tomorrow, only if the springs stop making noises. Then my suspension and brake setup is complete.
