Well the bar is in - yeah. Only problem is that it took me literally 6 hours because one of the endlinks was frozen and I tried to get it off with a variety of tools. 1st tool was an allen wrench which stripped the inside of the bolt. 2nd tool was a hacksaw but there wasn't enough room. 3rd tool was an Autozone vice grip, which popped off and smacked me in the face (Fun!). 4th tool I went to one of our autocross sponsors and used his mega vice grips and finally got the damned thing off!

I didn't get a chance to try it since it's pouring now (started raining 30 minutes after I was done) and didn't want to wrap myself around a telephone pole or tree So it will have to wait til tomorrow

Well I'm just looking forward to more front end mechanical grip. I hate my piggy 6th Gen compared to driving 3 1989-1990 Civic Si fully prepped for STS>

I don't think your sway/tie will quite get your 6th gen there :db: but its definitely a big step up from the stock Si bar. I don't think theres any honda that can compete with a 88-91 civ/crx in terms of autocross balance, as I'm sure you know.

Well I am 1.5 seconds behind some of the faster guys. ANd most are saying that a rear sway bar is good for about .5-1 second on a 60 second course. Some guys are telling me to increase my front camber a bit more. One friend is running -3.3 in the front and -1.5 in the back.

Nice. What was your previous setup? OEM front and rear? OEM rear, front disconnected? Let us know how it turns out.

OEM front and rear sways. Front OEM strut bar, rear Neuspeed upper and lower strut bars. ES bushings, Ingalls rear camber kit, Skunk2 front camber kit.
