Sway bar

[sheamichael20]

So if you want 8th gen coils you need to remove the front sway bar because the end links done match up on the coil correct..... What if you we're to leave the sway bar in and let the end links hang or zip tied them just sonyou don't need to remove it from car?

Is this so you can lower the stance of the car, and do away with the handling?

there are no spots to attach it on the 8th coils.

If you simply remove the end links and install the 8th gen suspension, your front sway bar on the 9th gen will be moving around and sliding back and forth un-controllable.

Yes, I understand there is no spot for the 9th gen sway to attach to an 8th gens coilovers; so people who install 8th gen coilovers on their 9th gen have to remove the front sway bar. I am asking can you just leave the front sway bar in the car and just not hook it up to coilovers (because you cant)? Maybe zip-tie the sway bar onto something to keep it from ratteling around?

I work at Honda so i installed my 8th coils with the proper tools and safety equipment. I went through the process of checking if it's possbile to leave the sway bar in place and tie it down.... it's not possible. The length of the sway bar does not change (obviously), so the sway bar will be pretty close to your 8th coils, or the bottom of your suspension area. It's not safe and there is no spot to "tuck it away".
