If he has a complete sway bar, he'll need nothing more than si endlinks and si subframe brackets. That's all I needed ....

He'll need the miscellaneous bolts. 99% of the time, people only sell the bar with the bushings and brackets.

why not just buy an aftermarket sway bar and save all the frustration of tracking down those parts?

Because....

GSR Sway Bar: $15 on ebay
ES OEM Replacement Bushings: $9 @ autozone
Si Brackets: $25 from Honda
CR-V endlinks: $10 from a junkyard
Misc Bolts: $1.xx at a hardware store

$60 for a fully functioning 14mm swaybar.

gsr is 14mm si is 13mm, basically the same. I have a GSR on my ek, use the gsr d brackets and bolt it up. Use Si endlinks, and then i pressed out the bushing on the sway bar and welded in a metal grommet that resembles a stack of washers. it works great.

I had an si 13mm bar...it was better than stock, but not fantastic
About a yr later I sold the si bar, bought an asr subframe brace and 22mm itr bar....now Im extremely happy with the car's performance

i just went to a hardware store with the bar and foud some steel spacers and welded them in, you could use a stack of washers too, but make sure they fit the endlinks tight. I had to do it this way because the sway bar bushings were messed up.
