You need the subframe brace, because if you upgrade the rear swaybar diameter without one, the thicker swaybar will tear the frame. Thats why everyone uses them.

What would be the max diameter for a rear sway bar without adding the brace? I’m thinking about adding the 13mm bar, which as far as I know, is the smallest on the EG’s

Once you brace all the goodies it makes the slow car alot of fun on the highway....at least here on the US. You can take the ramps and curved bridges at 90 and the car won't miss a beat. If you were in a rear wheel car you may wipe out. It's not about making sense with civics.. it's about fun👍..

That brace without a swaybar would work the same as a tie bar, its going to tie those 2 points together and stiffen the subframe, also giving you the option to run a large swaybar without ruining your subframe

People forget that aluminum ‘work hardens’ over time, causing the metal to become more brittle, best to have the steel bracket in there, the aluminum will always have to be thicker than the steel to match its strength, so why complicate things?

The brace is to reinforce the frame if you run a bigger sway bar. If you dont run a sway bar its pretty much pointless

I can't see that subframe brace doing anything noticeable however a short shifter is on my list of mods for the sss. One of the few things I like about the 86 is the stock shifter feel. To my ears that new muffler made a slightly nicer tone.

so funny thing civic have subframe on the rear its just welded to the chasiss not bolted like in most cars its one piece that u can remove spot welds and install new subframe except honda is not producing any more of these but you can find them in catalogs or in collision repair workshop manual also this brace have a very important purpose and even more than one it works like strut brace but for LCA mounts not alowing subframe to flex under load its not important for subframe to be braced for front back flexing because trailing arms are mounted pretty good the most load it gets is from toe angle trying to push and pull left right so brace is literally for that flexing its same as with f1 cars control arms these are very thin and dont look strong but its because these dont have any force applied to them trying to breake them in half but only push pull action also u can install swaybar to it

No worries mate

Subframe without the rear arb is pointless, I agree. However the short throw shifter is a worthwhile mod to me at least but it really depends what you are going to do with it. Driving around sometimes I hate how wobbly and rubber like my shifter feels coupled with the large throw it feels like I am driving a van. Future mod is a short shifter just because I want crisper and notchier shifting, but a good idea is to change the bushings as well. If I grab my stock shifter lower, where the metal rod is the shifts are so mint and notchy, it almost feels like a bolt action rifle and that's what I would like to achieve with a short throw shifter. Either new rubber or poly bushings to get rid of that slop in the shifter as much as you can. Short throw shifter with old worn down bushings is just asking for money shifts.
