Default EG owners with aftermarket LCA's, step inside

What swaybar are you guys using on your EG's with omnipower or other aftermarket control arms? I'm trying to figure out what bars work without any problems, or what I might need to do to make them work. Any information would be appreciated. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for through the search.

I used the stock sway bar off of a 96 teg 4 dr. and it worked fine with a Skunk2 lower strut bar

I'm talking about lower control arms, not strut or tie bars. Omnipower, SRR, etc

I have omnipower LCAs with SRR tie bar, soon to get the ITR 22mm with the jhp subframe reinforcement.

A buddy of mine has the full srr combo and loves it on the same LCAS. As for performance its beautiful, however he had to tape up his worldsport exhaust to give cushion because it hit sometimes. I have yet to investigate with my sway

I sent an email to beaks about their kit and its compatibility. They said that where the endlink meets the arm might not sit correctly, and could cause strain and perhaps shear the bolt. The aftermarket arms are flat, where the integra arms have a raised portion that the endlink mounts to. I can't really describe it without a picture. I'm just trying to figure out how to run something correctly without any issues.

I'm running the Suspension Techniques swaybar kit on my 92 hatch with Megan LCA's... don't have any problems with the swaybar, but the bushing on the Megan's where the rear strut bolts is smaller then stock, so I have to use washers to compensate the difference. All in all performs like a champ though.

I thought you couldn't run a sway with the Omni LCAs since it doesn't have the holes?

I prefer to run the correct spring so I don't need a sway bar

Is it the one with no bushing? Looks lower than the "stock position" so I wasn't sure...

Stock GSR
