    Re: Sway bars

    will the 92 acura vigor rear sway bar fit on a hatch back and the front sway bar from an 88 accord to an 87 seems like a huge difference 2 millimeters for a plug and play ... not bad

    Re: Sway bars

    Yeah, the vigor rear bar fits fine. Highly recommended and I think it's bigger than the s/t or addco bars, too!

    Re: Sway bars

    is having the rear bar be larger then the front a good idea? would this cause you to over steer?

    Re: Sway bars

    has anyone swapped the 87 LXI sway bar for the 88 or 89 one and seen a difference?

    Well yes, but since the 3g if fwd, it'll just understeer less (but def. be more prone to oversteer).

    Talk to any of the competitive honda racers (either auto-x, scca, or nasa); they all run big rear bars, it's the best/only way to get the cars to turn.

    no they are different...if you would go back to the start of the thread....they have it all explained. you dont have a rear sway bar...so get one from a 88-89 fuel injected car lx-i or se-i they are the biggest bar you can get unless you go aftermarket. i put an 89 lx-i sway bar on my dx and the results where amazing...on how more control it has. i didnt bother to change the front one because i was lazy and didnt want to spend lots of time on it. the rear one is easy...like couple bolts and you are ready
