Getting a 27mm front swaybar would defeat the purpose of getting a larger rear swaybar. The stock GS-R front swaybar is already a hefty 24mm and you are getting a large amount of understeer from that in stock form. A rear swaybar is all you will need and want since you want to induce more oversteer
Very well said :thumbup: . I would agree 100%.

This information can be found on my Type-R rear swaybar installation instructions ( www.geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html ):

Here are the Acura parts that will be need:
1.) 52300-ST7-Z01 rear swaybar
2.) 52315-ST7-Z01 swaybar bushing (2 needed)
3.) 52308-SS0-000 bushing bracket (2 needed)
4.) 52316-ST7-Z00 endlink bushing (2 needed)
5.) 52312-ST7-Z00 endlink bushing collar (4 needed) – this part can be reused from the stock swaybar
6.) 90175-ST7-Z00 bolt (8x35) (2 needed)
7.) 94050-08080 flange nut (8mm) (2 needed)

You can order all the required Acura parts listed above (excluding part #5 which can be reused from the stock swaybar) from Carland Acura ( www.acuraautomotiveparts.com ) for a total cost of ~$85 shipped. Then you can order my BSQ mounting kit for $20 shipped. So you are looking at a total cost of ~$105. You won't be able to find any rear swaybar for that price.

Being a new member to the sight, this topic caught my eye since I have been looking at upgrading my existing sway bar on my 98 GSR. Looks like i have found the answer.

What kind of differences have people seen with the installation of he Type R sway bar?

thanks for all the replies guys... it has helped me alot in my decisions and I understand alot more.

Thanks ALF about the info on a larger front sway bar. A 24mm stock front bar is already good and I kinda knew putting on a larger rear bar would cause more oversteer, which is better.

Well I went ahead and ordered the 22mm Progress rear sway bar. I just like to make things simple. I dont think I will be disappointed.

Also, does anyone know if the progress rear bar requires any drilling or modification for installation?

Not to knock on ALF, but I personally wouldn't say that the Beaks kit is a "better product". The reason that I say that is because both kits (BSQ and Beaks) serve the same purpose ... that is ... to reinforce the suspension subframe and to provide a flat surface to mount the Type-R rear swaybar.
I guess I should've said "in terms of material used and overall manufacturing." Not that your kit is inferior, but simply put I would take aluminum custom-made mounts over steel. But you're right, they do the same thing.

As for which one is the "better product" in the end, I personally have the BSQ kit...that's all I can say about that. :thumbup:

Fawkin bish, bringing this back.

Did anyone find out about my question?
"
I read BSQ's install page and it was all fine and dandy, except I have an RS so I'm wondering if I have all these ABS mounting points he speaks of - as well as if I've got the hole needed to enlarge for it.




Anyone got any input on this?

"


ANy ideas?
