Re: em1 guys
i would like to know the length because i put a dc one on mine and its really tight. i had to force the bolts into the lcas and i didnt like the way it is. i talked to a mechanic that works mainly on hondas and he said that the sway bars are the same and i was like i dont think so because when i took off the dc's sway bar, i didnt have to force anything. so that is way i would like to know the width. i knew that the bar was 13mm but im not looking for the thickness of it. but thanks guys.

Re: em1 guys
yea, i totally forgot earlier. i just went and checked it and this is what i got. right now im replacing my front subframe so my car is up in the front about two feet. the rear tires arent sitting really any lower than usual though. for the front and rears of an em1 the sway bar is attached to end links on either side that attach it to the control arms. from the center of one bolt that attaches the endlink to the control arm to the other is about 41.75". i measured over from the center of that bolt to the face of the end of the actual sway bar and its to the inside of the car about 1". making the overall length of the sway bar from face to face, (with weight and an stech with gr2 drop), about 39.75. hope that helps.
