Antiroll Bar, Sway Bar

[deathzone]

Pls share! thanks!

1. Can i mod Dc2r or EK9 rear antiroll/ sway bar to my 4 doors civic ek4? Any benefit comparing my stock ek4 smaller sway bar?

2. Which is better to mod for ek4 4doors..... ek9 crossmember set or dc2?

I asked the same question before to my foreman and he mentioned that ek9 ARB not suitable for EK 4 door / EJ Chasis and might "koyak" your chasis but dunno whether true or not. So now Im using ek4 ARB at my EK3 4 door chasis. About DC2 .. Im not so sure

In fact i also read in some forum that ek4 swaybar is more suitable for 4doors sedan compare to type r but need opinion from u guys here before i change anything.

I'm gonna copy & paste some useful info I got from d-series.org:

The only EK Civics that came with rear sway bars are the Civic Type R and the Civic Si, although all EK Civics have the same (Lower Control Arms) LCAs and thusly all accept a rear sway. The Si sway bar endlinks need to be used in conjunction with any factory and most aftermarket sway bars. To make it easy, even the DC2 Integra sway bars will require the Si endlinks, available at any Honda dealer.

When adding a rear sway to a US market Civic, anything over the size of the Si rear sway should have suitable "subframe" reinforcement. The factory Civic Type R which runs a larger-than-Si sway bar has factory bracing to prevent rear suspension damage. The price of a large sway bar's benefit manifests as the sway bar is counteracting the LCA, the sway bar twists. As it twists, the sway bar exerts force upon the subframe and tries to pull itself away from the car. Without any reinforcement for a larger bar, the sway bar will pull itself away from the car on extreme movements and possibly tear away its mounts from the rear subframe. If you are planning on a larger-than-Si rear sway (including the Civic Type R and all DC2 Integra), please consider reinforcement options from Beaks or A-Spec-Racing.

rear subframe damage looks like this:

not a pleasant sight.. :help:

Yeah. The ek9 arb is known to tear out the rear subframe. I'm using a 23mm ARB Although the eg has never suffered torn subframe from bigger arb, I decided to play it safe and use the ASR subframe brace. It didn't exactly fit 100% since out of the six holes, one was off by 2mm, and I had to mod it to fit. There's a model for the ek, but I think the ek4 arb is good enough. Don't think there was much bodyroll when I was driving an ek sedan with ek9 shocks and the ek4 ARB. If you feel there is too much body roll, check the arb bushes. If they're loose, that's the source of your problem.

 

[g4i8y0t]

ic.. ek4 and civic SiR is the same model right?

 

[shiroitenshi]

i think the us version of the ek4 is a coupe.

I have mod the DC2R rear ARB into my EG dolphin. Is this ok? Or long term it will damange the rear chasis (subframe)? Please advice.

Or is it advisable to install ASR subframe for my EG?

 

[deathzone]

I'm already using cap ayam ASR can use with the ek9 arb? Or need ori ASR only can tahan?

 

[g4i8y0t]

I think cap ayam brace also can, if it's thick enough. sifus please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[shiroitenshi]

those selling for around RM350 are replicas lor.... can see the diff HERE...ori costs about 7xx-8xx

but they should work well enough to reinforce the subframe.. and they look just as hawt..
