I'm going to start calling Gabe, DaMON STERn (Garage)

First a Civic hood, and now a tC sway bar. I wonder what will be next.

 

civic hood??????

 

heehee, it was a 00 eclipse hood, but we won't go into complete detail about that. :twisted:

 

DOH! My bad, Eclipse, Civic, oh well.

 

That thing looks like swiss cheese now. And man I am loving my no body roll sways!

 

It would be more noticable if you weren't taking on/off ramps at 15 mph.



Just kidding. I think the two new tow hooks in back look good.

as long as it works.

 

ok eclipse hood?? any pics??

 

Right here, below the front lip.

 

I am not known for buying cool stuff at the stores. I am known for making cool stuff out of other col stuff. Thanks for the props squirrel, I am going to change the endlinks soon. Something cleaner, I just used those ones, because I needed something for the time being.

 

Gabe, think Heim joints, Heim joint, Heinm joints.

Gabe has come up with some good ideas. And we do kid him sometimes. But he's just an enthusiast at heart like the rest of us.

 

Heim joint? dam spell check can't figure that out either! You mean swivel eye bolts? Its in the works, Thanks brad.

 

good idea,
but without the knownledge of how suspension
works and what not, how can u be certain that the
thickness of the bar isn't too much over kill?
and at the angle its at, does it taunt correctly?

those low clearance issues look super dangerous, if i had you car
and was going over a speed bump, i wouldn't be surprised if your saw
your shocks ripped out of the car in your rear view mirror.

i hope u can fix it asap, good luck and it was a good try..

 

since the low part is still higher than the rim bottom , I am not worried at all. And the whiteline bar is about the same thickness if not more. So I am not worried about over kill. Besides I am more worried about scraping my JIC type 2 over scraping anything else.

 

stylis.. awesome awesome write up. i just got my hands on a tc rear sway n i did the same thing you did. although i did decide to keep my hotchkis rear sway.

with both the bars i'd say that it handles 40000x better. ive taken turns 2x faster than i could before because of the body roll it had.

A+ for you

 

hmm both on there huh? any pics of that?now all u need is the actual replacement rear sway. then bam all three.

 

I recomend having only one on there because the thicker one will do all the work and the other wil just be there. Monkeymaker and I had a long discussion about it and he was right. The domanent swaybar is doing all the work, and the other is for looks :D

But god job NJthunder5spd!! Props to you, hope to see pics soon.

 

i paid for that damn hotchkis rear sway so even if its just for looks its staying there LOL

 

Sell it, I already have takers on mine! :D People here in the norcal are already PMing me for it. Sell it!

 

Ok, ok, ok, for a rear SWAY bar to work PROPERLY, it MUST BE attached to the rear bar/axle, AS WELL as the frame of the car.

The set-ups that are currently on the market that I know, regardless of whether its Hotchkis, Toyota, Progress, Whiteline, or whatever, are just to keep the rear beam from flexing.

Yes, it will reduce some body roll, but if you really want to reduce even more body roll, have someone design a bar that will attach to both the axle and the frame of the car.

 

That will work, but I am not about to make a skeleton bar like someone in Socal has. :twisted: Thats for the hardcore suspension peeps, I am just a poor old muffler guy with a lot of time on his hands. :sad:
