Hey P (& anybody else that's installed the S/T rear swaybar),

I just got my swaybar kit today & I'm just gonna install the rear one to see how it does at the autox this weekend. I was just reading the instructions. It says you may have to drill a hole in the trailing arm to attach their mount to... I'm assuming that this is regarding the lower end Accords with no rear swaybar.

It's dark & cold outside or else I'd check myself, but do we need to do this? Just trying to budget my install time on Saturday for the autox on Sunday.

Thanks!

sup RL......

no bolt in required.......

just remove the stock bar, brackets and endlinks. The new one bolts in very easily. 1HR MAX. Just remember, the ST bar does not go in the same way as the stock bar.....it hangs lower.......


lemme know how the autoX goes

 

I assume you meant no drilling required?

Thanks!

 

yeah....no drillin..........just need some sockets, extensions maybe, and a torque wrench.

 

Cool, thanks!

 

how much lower does it hang? Low enough to hit on shit if the car is real low?

 

The mounts add about 2" to the bottom of the rear subframe. I'll take pics later.

 

On second thought, the bushings do add 2" to the subframe, but the stock swaybar was sitting there in the first place, so it's nothing significant. Maybe takes away .5" or so?

 

???

doesnt the stock bar sit pretty close to the underbody...above the rear-lower tie bar....whereas the ST bar is beneath???

 

I honestly don't remember, I'll take pics after the autox. Hopefully VXCL will show up so I can take before & after pics.
