lower tie bars, wat up with those Options

[playr158]

so i've been looking at what i need to finish off the car that i would like
and sumthing i've been seeing around the strip and such are
lower tie bars on a bunch of cars

we don't have them!
like everything else
so

#1) do these do much
#2) if they do then why don't we get sum

[ghostdog]

as far as I know lower tie bars are the same as anti-sway bars. suspension techniques makes them for our cars

[playr158]

"lower rear strut tie bar"


nah
the sway bar is different
this connects the two tie rods

about 1' -2' in length solid straight across

let me see if i can find one on a car

curious what your refering to ..

Sway bars (also known as anti-sway bars, anti-roll bars or lower tie bars) affect the handling of the car on the lower end of the suspension. Sway bars tie the lower suspension components together across the front or back, and affect a car's over steer and under steer

those are sway yes
but they come OEM and aftermarket

the picture i posted above is purely aftermarket
there is one for the 7th gen celica too

just can't find a stupid picture of one on the car

I think cars with different suspension setups can use those bars like the one pictured playr. I think a lot of Hondas have those, but I never come across sway bars like we have on Honda-Tech.com. I don't see where those would bolt to on our suspension anyway.

[playr158]

alot of hondas use them yes mostly where i see them

i imagine i figure where it would go on our celicas as i've thought about this before but i'll have to take a pic
and then referance where i think it would go and if it does anything

[ghostdog]

seems like cars with a double wishbone suspension (a lot of hondas, 7g celica, etc) use the lower tie bar you are refering to. not really sure on the details; can anyone clarify?

[playr158]

yea see thats what i'm trying to figure out
and if its useful to us?

cause i love the way my celica handles
(right now-coilovers(fully dropped), gt4 rear strut bar, kyb gr2 in the rear)

i have a front strut tower coming soon..
sway bars-when the new line comes out (to aid doug i contacted the shop i use for a gb price and such)
and i plan on a lower frame brace for the front
so if this is usable i wanna look into it
for full suspension capability
