Budget rear sway upgrade: Part 1 Here is my install info for the Integra Type-R 22mm rear sway on my '00 Civic Si. And the answer is, YES! it can be done. Please read further, even if you have read any other posts on this install. My version is completely different, requires NO DRILLING, and this applies directly to our cars (and not some dissimilar car on the hybrid board). The final parts and price tally does not include tax or shipping, here it is: 52300-st7-z01 22mm ITR sway $67.77 52316-st7-z00 Endlink bushings(x2) 7.36 Mugen reinforcement plates 14.95 Mugen sway bar bushings 19.95 Total $110.03 The install was very quick and easy, once I figured out where the pieces of the puzzle went. Since there were no instructions or anything solid to go on, i made it up as I went...one year off my life, now gone. As you can see, I ended up using the ITR bar, ITR endlink bushings, Si endlink, Mugen reinforcement plates, The Si spacer brackets, Mugen bushings and stock "D" brackets. After much hair pulling, head scratching, and a case of Dr. Pepper, I learned a few valuable lessons: swearing doesn't help, undercoating sucks, sway bars don't hit exhaust if it is installed right-side up, and extra hands help. For those of you have been following my progress you may be familiar with the rundown. I removed the Si bar and the endlinks. I tried to bolt up the Si endlinks and realized the ITR holes were just too big. So I ordered up the ITR endlink bushings from Acura. I also decided that I did not want to drill ANY holes, so I ordered the Mugen sway bar bushings so that could use the stock "D" brackets. Four weeks later when I finally got all of the parts in, I started the project. I installed the ITR endlink bushings into the ITR bar. Then I put on the endlinks. I realized that the endlink threads were too short, so instead of cutting the bushing in half,I got creative and reemed the inside of the bushing (only about 1/4 of the way in on each side). This way the nut was able to drop down into it when tightened. That worked out perfectly. Then I removed the brackets, added the Mugen reinforcement plates, and reversed the spacer brackets so that they now face inward and not outward, as with the 13mm sway. (The reason the Mugen plates were needed was too raise the bracket high enough off the subframe to get a good hole alignment. People who have done this before will know what I mean. And without the spacer brackets, the sway was hitting the subframe. They are absolutely required if you plan on installing this way.) Of intrest to those of you who want this mod, The Mugen plates were too big and had to be trimmed on one side. I then used the stock bolts with the stock "D" bracket and Mugen bushings. You will better understand by looking at the pics. As far as I know, this is the first 22mm sway install to utilized the stock spacer brackets in a reversed manner. Today FNL and I charged Ortega Highway in the rain, and I must say, this simple mod really made a major improvement in the confidence and handling department. The car is very quick on center feel now, almost a little too sensative at first, but I am used to it now. Honestly, I think that the 19mm would have made too little of a difference on our cars. From what I can tell so far, this is a wonderful mod for only 110 bills or so. And remember I have stock suspension. Right out of the box I could tell a difference in weight and size. Those bushing are the ITR bushings which I did not use. Here is the stock 13mm bar. Here is the 22mm ITR bar installed. Amazing how much of a size difference there is with the sways sitting side by side!
