Make sure you have the endlinks in order to fit it onto ur LCA. Im not sure if a 99-00 Si endlinks would work, but hey, it might. I dont think you have to drill any holes in ur LCA. Good luck.

for rear, get 99-00 si endlinks, than go to http://www.beaksproducts.com and get their SRK reinforcment kit for $160, it comes with a brand new ITR rear sway bar. or get the reinforcement kit on its own and buy the GSR sway from http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org for like less than $80.

wrong. have you ever looked at your stock lca's. they have a nice little hole already drilled out from honda. just use 99 SI endlinks and mounting hardware, and it'll bolt right up. did it a month ago.

FYI: the endlinks don't go vey far through the swaybar bushings (on the ends of the bar) and there isn't any room to use a washer, so i'm waiting to see if the bushing is getting torn up or not. so far so good.

When I had the ITR rear bar on my Civic I was able to fit a washer on under the nut on the endlink. You may need to "put your back into" it in order for it to start threading though, so muscle up!
