Well, my new rear LCA's should be sitting on my porch, so I'm checking parts for the rear SiR-G brake/suspension/ITR sway install. Just peeked under my car and had a couple of realizations:
1. The rear sway on an EG civic requires a sway bar bracket. DOH! The bracket holes are not "tapped" but they are "drilled" So i need suggestions as to how to weld in a nut in that tight ass little area. It'll be hell. Will welding on that area cause the suspension point to become weak? Its just sheetmetal.
2. More parts will be needed. I've seen a rear "brace" thing that connects the rear points and bolts to the sway bar mounts as well. Its not a LCA brace, its bigger. Supposedly keeps the rear sub frame from tearing. Anyone know what I'm talking about and/or know where to get one?? I can't seem to figure out where they are coming from. I've seen a couple in pics but haven't found their source.
3. The car is lowered 1.7 inches in the rear, so I'm thinking if I go "custom" I'll move the sway bar body mounting points up about an inch from where they are. Should help with suspension geometry.
4. To get exactly what I want, I'm going to have to go to a machine shop and pay out the ass for a freakin' part to be custom made. I hope someone makes these and sells them.
