What are they? I've been reading as much as I can about installing my rear swaybar, but can't figure out what they are. Who know? Pics appreciated...

Here's a picture of a rear swaybar installed. The endlinks are at the outermost part of the bar and connect it to the LCA. Usually a combination of bushings and washers held together by a bolt and locknut.

Thanks man, I think they are what I thought they were. I have an oem rear bar off a civic sedan that I want to put on but I can't see where it would even bolt up, not even with the original lcas.

Unfotunately, because the cx didn't come with a factory swaybar your lower control arms wont have the mounting hole for the oem bar you have. You'll need the LCAs off the same car with the mounting hole if you want it to work. The pictured bar is a suspension tech aftermarket bar. This kit comes with adaption brackets which mount at the bottom of the shock on the LCA.

Yeah well that's what I meant, I didn't see where they would mount even on the lcas that came with it. Now if I don't have the bolts to bolt them to the lcas, can I just go buy some?

it's not bolts that you are lacking but bolt holes on your rear lca's, you will have to pick up a set of lca's from an integra, they go for about 40 bucks.

ok, once again. I have the the lcas/rear sway bar/trailing arm assembly/shock/spring setup from a 95 ex sedan, so I have the lcas that came with holes for mounting the sway bar, they just don't seem to line up and I haven't found pics of an oem sway bar mounted yet.

Here's a pic from a 94+ integra which shares the same LCA setup as the eg's if I'm not mistaken. It's hard to see the endlink setup, but I hope it helps. I'll keep looking.

Thanks that helped a little bit. I think hybrid honda has pics but none of them really shows the endlink setup which is what i want the most.
