Something I posted a while ago that might be helpful

Tools needed

1. 10mm tip
2. 14mm tip
3. 14mm spanner
4. ??? 4mm allan key
5. car jack and stands
6. reliable buddy



For a weekend hacker with lack of tools and FTA on time buddy.....the project took around 2 hours self installed. Fairly easy with a jack and 2 car stand.

OEM sway bar is hollow and weight 4.7-5 kg
Whiteline bar is solid blue weighting 8kg


Allan key is needed to remove this self loosening nut.

My buddy finally turned up and we took the car for a spin. The results;
1. Slightly firmer front
2. WOOOOWWW so neutral balance I got so much more grip from the 255/35/18 around corner. The car is so hard to overteer and when it does you only neeed to straighten the steering to straighten the car.

I can now go over same corner as before with sharper steering path and 20+kph compare to before.
I LOVE THIS BAR

Would the stiffer front sway bar give you more mechanical grip around a corner though? I thought it increased the tendency to understeer more than anything. It might give you better feel and balance though which may have given you more confidence to go harder around corners.

thanks for the post H9k!!

My guess is that it will give you more confidence to push harder...which is what you need really!

the stiffer front bar gives better mechanical grip for the rear wheels in the s2k by reducing the rear to front weight shift.

btw my sway bar is silver? I guess it depends when it was made right? Would there be more than one model?

Blue was the first batch of these. I've ordered another 3 sets for friends in the past 1 year and they were all silver.

Hey 'honda9rkm' where did you order from...how much....and do they come complete with bush's etc.??

Kimbo the brace comes complete with bushes and everything you see in my above pics. I ordered them through friends at Autobarn but they are not there any more. Talk to Muz. I think he was clearing the braces a few months ago.
