Anyone have info on which front sway bar is best? was thinkin suspension techniques but have little info on the topic
HELLP!

 

I have the ST front and rear anti-sways. Can't say anything bad about about them.

 

You should only get a stiffer sway up front if you get a much stiffer one in the rear . You dont want to change to just a stiffer front sway unless you want it to understeer like a brick.

I have no idea what the specs are on the st bars. If I were buying a front and rear sway I would go with Hotchkis. But honestly, the more I learn about this car and the more I autox it, higher rate springs and a progress or trd rear bar (Stock front bar) is a much better way to go. I run the trd rear bar with trd springs, and overall it is a very nice setup.I would like to reduce more body roll, but I will eventually do that with higher rate springs when I go to coilovers. Going too much stiffer on the bars will just reduce too much suspension independence IMO and cause more inner traction issues coming out of hard corners.

Good to see an Anoka driver on here.. I live right across the river from you

 

Intresting that you would say that, the front sway is the only real suspension piece on my tc that is still stock! I mean the car handles scary good , i have yet to have the gahonas' to find my tc's handling limit.

I was kinda wondering why the front sway bar is so un-available, maybe its because its a bad idea?

Hope to see your Tc on UNI this summer! We will show the hondas how its done

 

Since the FWD tends to push more by default, the only time people would want to upgrade the front sway is if the rear is quite a bit stiffer. The TRD/progress rear sway makes it balance out nicely, so you wouldnt want to increase the front stiffness unless you were much stiffer in the rear (like with hotchkis bars, which is why they come in a set).

I autox mine with Minnesota Autosports Club all summer long. Of course, in STS, the older civics tend to rule, but I am working to get the tC closer and closer I am working on buying SS-P's right now and chaning out the TRD to those before this season. Will be corner balancing, etc once that is done and will be changing from Azenis to Dunlops for this season. Good thing is that all of that should make a very positive change.. bad thing is that it will completely change the way the car behaves, so there will be a re-learning curve involved

I live on the North end of Champlin, so we probably drive past each other on the road quite often!

 

good info, im also in the market for a sway bar and was just doing some reasearch
