Swaybars in! - Honda Prelude Forum

Front:

Rear (adjustable 5pt):

Driving impressions? WOW! I'm tackling my favourite turns at least 8-10kph faster than before, and quite comfortably too! Perhaps its also got to do with the rubber on my new... There's hardly any roll now, and this is with with the middle settings on the rear. The steering response is slightly improved, the car no longer wobbles when I do sharp turn-ins, it simply squats into a corner, beautiful!

Also noted was that I felt 4ws much more than usual, which means that the weight transition of the rear of the car is communicated better, ie just feels better! lol

Finally, the added bonus of the poly sway bushes which made the car feel more solid around corners, felt the road surface much better, and more road noise filtering into the cabin was 'not that much at all' surprisingly...

Anyways, got to get a few more things sorted out and it's track time again!

where did you get those sway bars? are they larger then stock?

They look like suspension techniques sway bars... are they?

They're from Whiteline - custom made since no one has them here in Aus... As opposed to the standard designs of 24mm hollow front and 23mm hollow rear (they're REALLY light to pick up), both of the new ones are 24mm solid, and nice and stiff too

ST aren't adjustable, and if I remember correctly, they have less bends than the oem ones do.

Since you said no one makes them in Australia, can't you just get some shipped to Australia? How much did you get them custom made for? I only have a rear aftermarket sway bar on my car, and it made a lot of difference in handling.

Ah that's where my search ended

I have 4WS

I got them custom made for around aud$320 for both of them... although I had a hookup with the retailer.

what about those neuspeed ones. i was thinkin of getting those but they are pretty damn expensive. should you get two or just the rear cuz i hear that some people get just the rear. do u have suspension? and you got the whole master set of those power suspension poly bushings?

Yep the ES master set should be coming soon pending some installation quotes - then I've got all bases covered suspension-wise with regards to the clunking. I can then start focusing on other things such as the exhaust hangers or something.

You can get a rear - yes, for some oversteer fun, but in the end both are essential for a more balanced track setup... btw yes I have suspension, TEIN HAs & tanabe sustec pro strut braces.
