Default 96-00 EX & SI control arm/sway bar ?????

Can I get the ex lower control arms and shock forks off and use the bigger si sway bar? Is there any difference on the mounting location or anything else?

The purpose would be to have a big front sway bar and be able to use traction bars also.

I've heard it bolts right up but don't know from experience.

I know that this works :

SI LCAs, SI shock forks, SI Sway + SI endlinks.

I *think* this works :

EX LCAs, SI Sway + ITR endlinks.

However I've found that the EX 22mm sway does a very good job if you use poly sway bar bushings.

I did the convertion 3 years ago and here is a short write up about what is involved.

instead of wasting your money on all those extra parts. get a set of my endlinks and install the SI bar.

check out the link below.

Endlinks look nice and beefy... However I didn't see any rubber/polyurethane stoppers on it. Makes me wonder if over time with hard enough driving if it could tear through the lca kinda like how having too big of a rear sway can tear through your rear subframe.

How does those endlinks work. Don't they need bushings on them.

comes with everything, nuts, bolts, bushings. not those cheap rubber bushings but the strong stiff polyurethane bushings.
if you look closely above the bronze washer you can see part of the bushing.

Thank you everyone. I actually have two civics and already did the si sway bar conversion on one but want to add traction bars on the other (Can't add traction bars to SI lower control arm). I guess from what mr. choi is selling you need some custom parts to fit an si sway bar onto a 96-00 ex lower control arm. Anyone have any other suggestions/comment?
