I just got a brand new eibach sway bar kit on ebay for $145 shipped
Its a 26mm front and 17mm rear.
I just want to know how much these usually run?
Does the kit come with endlinks / everything needed for install on a 2000 dx hatch? (i know i need front lca's from an ex)

Does anyone have any good/bad experience with these?
Am i getting a good deal?

ur going to need a frame brace for the rear and after market lca's

fastrxu

I thought anything BIGGER than 17mm need frame brace?
I also had the option to get an asr 24mm with subframe brace for 300 (i know that size needs a brace , can someone else confirm this cuz i thought i did my research but correct me if im wrong)

As for the lcas i thought the only difference in si lca (that came stock with rear sway) was a welded nut on one side to thread the sway bar bolt in
I can just buy a nut at home depot instead of aftermarket lca's

All 96-00 USDM rear lca's are the same. Si just has a hole like the other ones. It is definitely suggested to get a brace or at least reinforce that area for the rear sway. Sounds like you got a good deal on them but we can't tell you if you got everything or not. Run the part number you won and see what it says. If it's bars only, you need a bunch of stuff. If it's a full kit and REALLY for a 96-00 Civic, you should have everything but the front control arms (you can use just the rear section as they are 2 pieces) and the rear reinforcement.

^^^ thank you sir, im about to pay for them so any last minute input is appreciated.

Yes i ran the part number and it comes up as the kit from eibach and it says all mounting hardware included
The guy is selling brand new but the box is really tattered he has it sitting inhis garage for a couple years

Something like a asr rear subframe reinforcement?

ASR! My current ride had some undisclosed subframe damage when I bought it so I got the ASR. It's a solid piece. Enough to put any worries I had to bed.

fastrxu

Cuz i already have a megan lower tie bar will that work for now?

Im really anxious to install these as soon as i get them

Not to be a smartas but if a subframe brace is needed why doesnt eibach sell one with their kit?

Also has anyone used these? What do you think of my setup?
Tokico illumina shocks/ and springs
Front strut bar, c pillar bar, and lower tie bar
With the 26mm and 17 mm sway bars
What would you do different

Arthas

Megan Tie bars are NOT subframe reinforcement pieces. They are just tacky looking pieces of aluminum that mount to the LCA bolts. They do nothing.


Get an ASR brace. You can install it without it, but you will tear your subframe and that wont be pretty. 13mm (EM1) is the LARGEST sway bar you can run on stock 96-00 subframes.

fastrxu

I guess ill have to wait until i get a subframe reinforcement bar/ whatever u call it

Im pretty sure there has to be something cheaper than asr that will do the job right?

asr ftw...
or wait a bit for the function7 to come out.

cheep and quality dont belong togther, buy the asr you will be happier.

Arthas

Can you stop being such a cheap *** when it comes to modifying your car???


I hope your subframe snaps in half since you keep wanna half *** everything.

Eibach doesn't sell it with their kit because as a business, they probably more efficient in selling what they sell now and leave it to ASR or Beaks to specialize in the braces.

fastrxu

Why do you think i said, " i guess i'l have to wait till i get subframe reinforcement"

If i was being a cheap *** i would install it right now without the brace causing the sway bar to rip out

So..... When i need a financial advisor I'll PM you

As for everyone else thank you i think all my questions have been
Answered

Update:
I just received it today.
Turns out I paid $120 for it brand new. It even har the original shipping sticker from eibach to the guy that sold it to me. Never been opened.

A very interesting thing i noticed was that eibach uses ALL ORIGINAL factory oem honda endlinks and brackets/hardware in their kit.
I never seen an aftermarket company go above and beyond to order original honda parts (or any manufacturer original parts for that matter) for each individual application.
Everything is honda except nuts/bolts/washers/bushings/ and of course the sway bars
So it came with all the endlinka which im pretty sure cost the $120 that i paid for the whole set.

Now i might buy an asr subframe from some guy i txt him an offer lets see if he takes it and i'll update with the install

I was wondering if i also need the hardware kit also? If i would of know that i needed this i wouldnt of got the eibach sway bar kit. It is for a 1997 Civic LX 4door. Do i need rear LCA also? and wil aftermarket (megan) LCA work or have the hole in it for the end link?

Are you in the habit of buying things and not knowing what you are supposed to be getting?

I have seen that article, but i am unsure if the kit comes with the mounting bracket. And yes i did buy it blind. Car is at a local shop. So does the kit come with it or will I have to be making another purchase for the mounting kit?
