TinmanEM1 TinmanEM1 Jr Member Registered: 03/21/07 Posts: 532 Loc: Alpharetta, GA	I've heard this from a couple of different places, but I haven't had anyone explain to me how it works. Is there anyone who understands it who can explain this to me? _________________________ 1999 EBP Civic Si - Autocross slut 2007 Chevy Avalanche

On my Comptech bar for the 00 Civic Si I had you could put it on soft (outer one), middle, (middle hole) or the hard (inner hole). If you mean hollow bar there's alot of debate in that issue I mentioned above. _________________________ Sponsored by: KAM Racing Sports, Falken Tires, Progress Technology, Brady's High Performance, Taggart Performance Engineering, Rotora Brakes Autocross is: 90% driver, 5% car, & 5% CRAZY MOJO!

TinmanEM1 TinmanEM1 Jr Member Registered: 03/21/07 Posts: 532 Loc: Alpharetta, GA	I probably should have been more specific. I was told that drilling a hole in a swaybar would make it stiffer. Someone else theorized that this meant relocating the endlink mounting points, but I don't think that was what the couple of people I heard about it from were talking about. _________________________ 1999 EBP Civic Si - Autocross slut 2007 Chevy Avalanche

TinmanEM1 TinmanEM1 Jr Member Registered: 03/21/07 Posts: 532 Loc: Alpharetta, GA	I found out from the person who posted about it on another forum that he meant drilling a hole further in from the end of the bar to relocate the endlink mounting point. _________________________ 1999 EBP Civic Si - Autocross slut 2007 Chevy Avalanche

I would think the company did the testing with the holes already. Adding another would upset the integrity of the bar. The bar could snap under load. _________________________ Sponsored by: KAM Racing Sports, Falken Tires, Progress Technology, Brady's High Performance, Taggart Performance Engineering, Rotora Brakes Autocross is: 90% driver, 5% car, & 5% CRAZY MOJO!

I'll probably just throw some polyurethane bushings in there. I haven't been able to find JUST the front bar for my Si. They only seem to come with the rear or the rear by itself. _________________________ 1999 EBP Civic Si - Autocross slut 2007 Chevy Avalanche
