Reinforcement Parts - Anti Sway Bar & Rear Lateral Rod

Ok, this time I going to sum up 2 item in 1 post as if I just explain about anti sway bar it will be too short and not much of a stories to tell. What an anti sway bar do ?
Primary function to keep the suspension to its place, keeping the body rigid. Secondary giving better balance to the car. However a stiff anti sway bar will cause the wheel to lift off the ground during heavy cornering.

Cusco does produce a thicker anti sway bar as replacement to factory made :-

Part number : 615-311-A24
Price : JPY 30,000
Material : ???
Specialty : 24mm thick
Colour : Blue

The above picture is a sample of anti sway bar, the picture not showing the design for HT81S and there are a 2nd design that allow the changes in mounting point (2 different point) on the strut for ZC31S.

Until now, I dont know other company that produce aftermarket anti sway bar for HT81S. So this is your best bet on modding this particular section.

Now comes the rear lateral rod. This is a part of the rear suspension design for HT81S. Actually for those stock car, there isn't a requirement to do any changes to this. But for those that had lowered your suspension and change to coilover, a changes in the height of the car does effect the position and alignment of rear suspension. The rear design of ht81s is a beam axle design that have a link using lateral rod.
The lateral rod keep the both rear suspension in same length but once height changes, the suspension will push the alignment to one side of the car.

There are a solution to these problem and 2 item will be feature here :-

1st is an adjustable lateral rod.

2nd choice is the installation of an spacer. This spacer developed by bcrews mechanics in Japan for HT81S model specifically. A nice alternative and it does cost a lot. The logic behind the design is simple and reasonable. Maintaining the angle and distance of the original design by dropping the angle of the lateral rod. That means you will keep the original dimension and angle for the rear suspension. But it is recommended to install the adjustable lateral rod as above to fine tune it.
