How to Install Eibach Anti-Roll Sway Bar on 2012-2015 Civic
HTML-код

- Eibach Kit part #4087.320 for the 2012-2015 Civic. This was not too difficult of an install. It can be a little arduous working on your back for the entire install though. Some of the bolts for the front are in some pretty tight places but still accessible with regular hand tools and small extensions. It took me about 4 hours total.
OEM Bar Sizes - Front 21mm, Rear 18mm
Eibach Sizes - Front 24mm, Rear 19mm
Although the rear isn't much larger, the Eibach bars have 2 settings which allow for a soft or firm setting which is a nice addition.

Great video my man! One thing to note, I only ended up having to loosen the horizontal bolt (at the 8:10 mark) on the control arm and it lowered just enough to slide the bar out. Thankfully this was the case, because those in CV mounts were locked in tight and I couldn't get my tools on it very good to break it loose.
Thanks for the info!
You're like the +Chrisfix of Hondas :-)
This made me lol, that's a great compliment man, I appreciate it!!
Ramzi I agree. So much help lol. And very detailed.
those endlinks are a PAINNNN
Much help man! Thanks for the video.
You got it!!
I am really happy that I found your channel...Honda guru :) Subscribed
Thank you! 🙏
@@GarageBuiltHondas thank you....for the info....I just bought my 2012 si and videos like these help me out a lot
Glad to help. I haven't worked on an 8th or 9th gen in a while.
Thanks plan on installing the pro kit on my '15 coupe!
👍🏻
Didn't the 2014-2015 Coupe Si have a 20mm Rear sway bar? I was planning on buying the 32mm front from eibach and going with the progressive 24mm rear.
James Chapman It might, I'm not sure. This car is a 13 model. The 14-15 may have gotten a slightly larger bar.
Have you had any squeaking from where the bar goes in the bushing? I installed a one of these on my 2009 ex coupe and after about 6 months it started squeaking when I went over things like speed bumps. I did use the supplied grease.
It can happen. It's probably dried out. I'd remove it, clean it then lube it up again and put quite a bit of lithium grease.
time to invest in some harbor freight ratchet box wrentches
No kidding
Thanks bossman, just what I needed to know.
👍
Solid video
Thanks!
Made that look easy.
Lol, it wasn't too tough!
This kit installation works the same on Acura Ilx, right? looking to pick this up and get it installed.
I don't know. If it says it fits from the manufacturer then I'm sure it will
Hey I know this is a old video but I recently upgraded my sway bars on my 13 si sedan with both Eibach sways bars. Following this video of-course. After installing I’ve been getting a clunk from my front driver side. Lifted the car up and removed the wheel come to notice the sway bar was sitting really close to the lower control (about 1mm if I’d have to guess) I did notice as I was installing the sway bar but didn’t think anything of it. Do you remember if the sway bar position if it’s suppose to be real close to the control arm? Car is lowered on BC racing full coils. Thanks in advance and any advice will be appreciated.
+Dennis N I don't remember it being that close at all, it seemed to fit like the OEM one did. The owner never had an issue with a clunking noise. Make sure both end links are tightened completely.
Hey Dennis, I know we’re a year later but jsyk I’ve been getting that clunk too since installing coilovers. I think it has to do with end link positioning rather than the sway bar. I’m going back to the oem sway in front.
Got to grease the bushings inside and out or squeak will occur
I think this guy has an EF addiction!
It is a drug!!
which settings did you go with..are there any difference thanks
hi jon! do you have video like this for 8th gen civic? Thanks in advance
I don't, I would be it is pretty much the same process. The cars have almost identical suspension setups and engines so it should be very similar if not just a few small changes.
+J Wid Films thanks man!
will those stock stabilizer bars work on a regular 2012 sedan
Yes
Question, do I have to drop the front subframe to take it off or can I just fish it out?...
Try it. I don't know.
Cool video... It helps...
👍🏻
Is this similar to the 2013 ILX Dynamic (2.4L)? Almost the same car but with a different shell.
I'd contact Eibach. They could tell you for sure.
I dont get it. The civic already had factory anti roll bars what was the point of changing them? Was it just purely cosmetic? Or did that actually help the suspension out?
+Jesus Marquez Slightly larger bars reduce body roll even more due to the increased diameter. It would suck as a cosmetic mod, can't see them for sh*t. Lol
Everything went in except for the passenger mount on the steering rack.. i tried to tighten it but it wouldn’t budge .. anybody have this problem ? 😅
Did you need a front wheel alignment after dropping the subframe? A lot of guys who've done this are saying its necessary
+Daniel Lang The owner of this car didn't get it aligned after. He did after the lowering springs install but not after this. He didn't have any problems with alignment or premature tire wear after I performed this installed for him.
Thanks for the reply, will be doing this soon. Great work!
Hi,
Gotta say love your Videos big fan! Anyway, I make compilation videos where I take clips from other videos add some information and then play music over them. I was just wondering if I could have your permission to use 20 seconds max of this video. Obviously, the link will be in the description and all credit will be rewarded to you.
Sure!
Do you think its fine to use the stock ex brackets?
If they are the same size I'm sure it'll work.
What where your settings firm...or soft.. if you remember..Thanks in advance...
We set them to firm, the owner really liked it. He said he could feel a noticeable difference in how it felt.
Garage Built Hondas Thanks for the vid! Preference aside, which holes are for firm vs soft and is it the same front an back?
I cannot remember, sorry. Try visiting their website. It might offer an installation manual online.
Would this fit a ex 2015 coupe
Check their website. I believe they'll have listings for the vehicles they make them for.
By any chance what's the name of the tool you using to hold the Allen wrench?
The Allen head sockets? The one that attaches to the end of the ratchet?
+Jon Widmer yeah the one that was holding it while you use the wretch to get the nut off
+LifeWith D&J That's them, also called hex head sockets. You can buy them pretty much anywhere, a lot easier to use than Allen wrenches!
+Jon Widmer thank you I appreciate that!
Any idea what that support bar is called which you had to lower?
Subframe
Hey man how's the drive?
It drives very nice, a little tighter in turns.
Can you feel so much difference?
Only slightly, just in turns though.
