I don't think the teg mirrors will fit a Civic. I've read that EK mirrors will fit with some modification, if you want that kind of look.

The ITR rear bar is like 22, 24mm. The GSR bar is smaller.

i was thinkin the mirrors would fit if i use the integra mirror part only and use the part that it hooks up to from my civic. they look similar. i know ive seen a civic with em...

and do i have to have the teg front lcas to use the sway? any improvement over my stock sway?

the GSR rear sway bar is 14mm. What model civic do you have? If you don't have any holes for the sway bar endlinks on your rear LCA's, then you'll need Integra or aftermarket LCA's. Same thing for the front, if you don't have a EX, then you'll need to swap out the front LCA's.

the only aftermarket LCA's i'd buy are Function7. If you're looking for something so you can just throw on the sway bar, go get some stock DC2/4 LCA's. Im sure you can get them for cheap. If you're gonna order the Skunk2 LCA's just for looks, might as well go with something cheaper like blox.

Only the ITR/CTR came with a 22mm rear sway bar and if that is what you really have, you'll need a subframe reinforcement kit.

Ls sway bars are 13 mm gsr sway bars are suposed to be 18 mm. blox lcas do suck theres tons of write ups about lcas and some even say that functions 7s are the best aftermarket but there still not as good as stock lcas. if you want them get them but chances are youll be replacing the shock bushings after about a year. func 7's prolly a lil longer. but when it comes down to it its all in the install. make sure you preload them and theyll probably last a long time(even the blox) if you dont they will wear prematurly. i would save your money and keep them stock and in vest in an area that will make the car go faster or handle better. LCAs do neither, purely weight and bling factor. choose your sway bars wisely tho, if you like over steer dont put a big one in the front and put a huge one in the rear. if you like understeer put a big one in both. reguardless put a big one in the back! ahahha
most civics have the holes and alot alreay have taped holes (if yours arnt just put a aircraft nut on the back side). you need the mounts endlinks and teg LCAs for the rear and probably the same for the front. i went with EX sway bar on the front. not sure how big it is but it was pretty large and i like it alot. stays down in curves. but i have a 13 mm LS bar in the back and im satisfied cause its better than nothing but am planning on going to a 22-24 mm aftermarket bar when i get money. you know how it goes man, money talks and broke men walk! ahah hope this helps

LS coupe rear sway bars are 13mm, Sedans and GSR's are 14mm. I don't know of any Civic or Integra that came with a 18mm rear sway bar.
