Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

ok well first off i find my car "leans" alot more now then it used to..i havent changed anything except rims\tires a few times but now its all the same, i remember my grand prix would do this everytime the rear swap bar broke.. and it broke ALOT lol, but if i put in a bigger sway bar will that improve this? i googled it and from what i understand it helps the compression of the springs so instead of one compressing alot on a hard corner it lessens this? correct me if i am wrong but would a bigger sway bar help in cornering\leaning?

ps. i have front and rear strut tower braces, b-pillar brace, c-pillar brace, and beaks rear lower end tie bar aswell as lowering springs. if this helps at all?

Re: Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

The sway bar does help with the car rolling over when turning. A bigger sway bar will prevent it from rolling over more then a stock sway bar.

That's why most people with DC integras swap on ITR sway bars as they are better and stops even more roll over when turning.

awsome thanks, iv looked around a bit but all i can find that is the "biggest" is a company makes a kit i forget who it is but it enables you to install a type R sway bar onto a DA, is there any known that are bigger or better for a DA?

Re: Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

There's undoubtedly bigger out there in the aftermarket, but not without requiring a subframe brace (this time not for bling like most people that have them) to prevent the sway bar from ripping from the subframe being thicker and adding more stress than the stock bar.

It'll help huge in cornering and will stiffen the lateral roll of your car up to the point where you wont see it roll as much when taking your turns. If you do a bit of research in the mechanics of handling and the function of swaybars, I'm sure you'll come up with a very good idea of what it's all about.

Hope this helps!

I have found 3\4" front and rear sway bars for my DA, does anyone know the specs for the type R sway bar?

Re: Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

22 or 23mm. Your beaks rear lower tie bar "I think" allows you to use a type R sway without having to buy an ASR subframe.

get ASR sub frame sway bar kit

Re: Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

You don't need a sub frame brace with the ITR bars. The rear ITR bar is 22MM thick.

Re: Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

I think the sway is 22.7MM lol but whose counting.

ASR has great sway bar kits. I believe they go 25mm or bigger.

Re: Bigger Sway Bar Question
 

Theres a 26 mm sway bar out there for teggys. HOLAY ----.

Its your DD and you just want it to take the on ramps slightly nicer. Type R sway bar is the way to go. Lowering springs aren't helping you either. A better strut/spring combo or coilovers is your best bet to help you take on those corners well.
