Originally posted by C-Rod View PostWell he and I did this to my car, so as for the feeling a difference part. YES! haha I have a DX so my control arms were different and we put the cross member on so I could put a sway bar on. On the original DX cross member there is no place to mount the sway bar. So I mean I don't really know how much the control arms made a difference but I know the cross member was worth it cause the rear sway bar made a HUGE difference!
gotcha.

i say skip the trouble
i swapped memebers, because i got it for free, tried a 16mm sway
and compared to not having one, it is a difference, but a 22mm from suspension tekniques is the way to go, shitty part is, after you busted ass swaping crossmembers, the ST bar bolts up using the long 17mm bolts
understeer is non-existent in my car anymore
also i suggest swapping the front with a 26mm from a cd5 ex

Sway Bars/Anti-roll bars
DX/LX = No
EX/SE = Yes
If you want to install an OEM sway bar from an EX into your LX you will need the rear sway bar AND the rear crossmember from the EX. DX and LX models did not have the mounting points for a sway bar at all.
The good news is that stuff is dirt cheap or in my case...free. just look around and see what you can find. Shouldn't be too hard to get what you need and will be well worth it. Understeer will be dramatically reduced. Good luck!

i did this as well except with a 94 EX rear end just wanted to let you guys know the 5th gen rear end with struts and all completely bolts in. disk brakes are fantastic too! i already had an ex rear end except i have a 91 so it had drums and 330ish thousand mile worn out bushings. also i have heard the 5th gen sway bar is larger and it may be easier to come byBlake.

Originally posted by Smokinspeeds View PostI did a whole rear swap from an acura CL 2.3 coupe. Crossmember, big brakes, bigger sway bar than EX cb7. Just have to run the handbrake lines. The CL arms are a bit longer, which gives the car a slightly wider stance, and handles like a completely diff car. Pics in my mr thread.
I couldn't really find any pictures in your MRT either of the swap. At least not anything recently.
