Suspension Anti roll bars

alexps · 24th April 2008, 18:41

I aim to buy a coilover suspension (maybe KW Variant 2...) but I would like to replace my stock anti roll bars with the type R ones (especially the rear from 11mm to 13mm. It feels great!!) Does anyone have such an experience concerning our civics??? Is it possible??? Also aftermarket solutions are acceptable if they exist....

The rear suspension on the CTR is different..so no

alexps · 25th April 2008, 08:20

Is it different?? Both cars have the same beam i think and the difference exists on stiffer shocks and anti roll bars...

robbo51 · 26th April 2008, 15:31

Yes its different

i think the rear is only different between the 5door and the 3door versions. (not quite sure if it was in km77.com. that i've seen that)

That;s what I know too!!! Between type S and type R the only difference is diameter of antirolls, springs and shock absorbers. The suspesnion architecture is SAME!! (only 3 doors)

You're right - asked my dealer several weeks ago and told the suspensions are pretty similar. Type S and R are not so different as it may seem

Out of interest, is that the same for the type-S too?

Don't know if the Type-S is the same in that pospect.But It'll never be a Type-R.

What about the chassis?

TYPE-R '07 · 11th May 2008, 17:27

Is the gear box the same?

I think not, as the Type R has the 3rd gear problem also found on some US Civics, but not the other Euro-Civics.

Who said they're the same?

Type-S definately has a 20mm wider rear track than the 5-door. Don't know about the suspension set up though.

CTR42 · 19th May 2008, 08:10

as said prev only diffrent is the size of the anti roll bar also the rear stub axles are 10mm wider on the type r and of course 20mm overall

g_bak · 19th May 2008, 10:19

I am also certain than Type R & S share the same suspension design and dimensions (except springs, shocks and anti roll bar/bushings).

What I don't know and I'd like to have a quote is whether the type R has some chassis/suspension reinforcements (additional frames/bridges etc.)

CTR42 · 19th May 2008, 12:05

answer to that question is yes it does have extra bracing the rear beam also has extra brracing on it .,

Tongue firmly in cheek

EVO raved about the Type S chassis and complained about the Type R
