endo617's 98 Civic LX Project: Balance

that company's been around for a while now, just not a lot of people in the Honda community have heard of them. I think they used to specialize in the rally cars (Subaru and Mitsubishi) when they started, but they've been branching out over the years

Lateral sway bar movement is very common. A miata guy told me to use hose clamps after I told him my sway bar shifted during an event. But I found these randomly, and yeah Whiteline does get overlooked, people usually go to ST, Eibach, etc. But I am surprised that after looking around Whiteline is the only company that makes a bar collar lock.

Here's the side by side. New endlinks were pretty much bathed in Permatex Anti-Seize.

Nice to see someone take a 4 door to the next level!

I've seen pics of a rear bar that has a collar already machined/cast on. I'm THINKING it was Whiteline as well, but can't remember right this moment.
I'd like to install a rear bar and brace on my 99 sedan as well. But, that's a little bit down the road. Need new bushings, shocks, and springs first

4 doors need love too.

I've seen those say bars also with a machined lock collar. I also like there 6th gen setup. Little by little man, one mod at a time.

Haha, just had to share, this packaging for the White Line Bar Collars was funny. It's like a beef jerky resealable bag. Cool gimmick. Going to toss them on tomorrow ASAP.

Made my own Quick Release bumper fasteners because my tabs broke.

Rained all day, still fun day at AutoX, I've never raced in the rain before. Definitely was an awesome time.

Just ordered the front DC Sport bar. Very happy I've worked a lot of over time.

Here's the rear bar installed. It's solid and only like 6lb. Don't the messy trunk.

Just picked up some of these good stuff, need to to get a new ITR Master Cylinder before the complete brake flush.

Very happy with the quality of the DC Sport CS2 strut bars. The front is tricky to install. You need to take off the 14mm strut mount nuts and lift the car so the studs reseed down and then hold the bar down and lower the car slowly. Results is a very sturdy front strut bar.

Autocross magnetic numbers for $18, the let choice 6 digits and my number is 535 for I have a full set for both doors. Hopefully they hold up, right?

Installed my White Line lock collars finally, they are nice and tight. No more sway bar movement.

Impulse buy, haven't seen one in a while.

Feeling a little more official!

Air bag looks great because it's OE from Canada and lost a lot of weight.

Today: Stripped the rest of the A/C lines, installed ES Shifter Bushings, and Torqued down the front subframe. I have to say I think re-torquing the front subframe actually made the car feel a lot better. Bumps and turns feel smoother not sure of subliminal but to it does. Recommend it if you haven't already.

So much more room for activities

Ordered the OEM Delete Plugs to make it official.
