That means the bar is applying force while the car is sitting still, which is the opposite of what it should be doing. These adjustable links let you dial that out completely, so the bar sits neutral at ride height and starts working the instant you load it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Preload Is Worth Eliminating\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what's happening under the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYour sway bar is a torsion spring, and at rest it should be doing nothing at all. Load the car in a corner and it twists to resist roll. That's the entire job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut if your end links are the wrong length for your ride height, the bar is already twisted before you've moved. That causes two problems. It applies force at rest, which introduces cross weight and can make the car behave differently turning left than turning right. And it uses up part of the bar's travel before the corner even starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable links fix it. Set the length so the bar is completely neutral with the car at ride height, and it works evenly on both sides from the moment you turn in. On a lowered car running an aftermarket bar, that's the difference between a setup that's correct and one that's slightly wrong all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e58mm To 64mm Of Range\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured center to center, which is enough range to zero out preload on most lowered setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical way to set them: get the car at ride height, disconnect one end, and adjust the link until it drops into place with no tension in either direction. That's zero preload. If the car is getting corner balanced, do this after rather than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNeed The Sway Bar Too?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth being clear: this kit is end links only, no bar included. If you're still on the factory rear bar or don't have one at all, the bar is where the actual handling gain comes from and these links are what let you set it up properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHave a look at our \u003ca href=\"#https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/search?q=progress+rear+sway+bars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eProgress rear sway bars\u003c\/a\u003e for these chassis. Fitting a bar and adjustable links together is the right way to do it, since you're changing the geometry anyway and you'll want to zero the preload once it's in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOne pair of adjustable end links\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFour M10-1.25 flange nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTwo M10-1.25 jamb nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne pair covers one sway bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2013-2019 Acura ILX Base\u003cbr\u003e2002-2006 Acura RSX Base and Type-S\u003cbr\u003e2002-2015 Honda Civic DX \/ EX \/ LX \/ Si\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRear application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Should Run These\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the Civic, RSX, or ILX owner who's lowered the car, fitted a rear bar, or both, and wants the suspension set up correctly rather than approximately.
