I hear lots of success stories about this being done and working great. What year integra sway bar do i need to get to fit on a 98 civic ex coupe. I am getting the sway bar from a gsr and just need to know what year range and what all i should take off to fit properly. thanks for the help

94-01 Integras will work. You're going to have to buy endlinks and the sway bar brackets for a 99-00 Si to install it. I'm putting one on soon, we'll see how it goes.

Also, check to make sure your LCAs have the sway bar endlink hole pre drilled. I think all 96-00 Civics do, (my 97 DX does) but I'm not positive.

D griff is correct, all 96-00 have holes in rear control arm.

I put the front sway bar on from an integra gsr. I used the integra mounts. The gear linkage from the shifter to the transmission rubs on the sway bar and makes it hard to put in first and second gear. I am going to swap out the integra mounts for 99 civic si ones and put on the rear sway bar this weekend.

did you drop the shift linkage before you put the sway in?

D Griff

Yeah, I was actually only referring to the rear ones, I'm not sure about the front ones. I would think they probably do fit, maybe with a bit of modification.

I had to pull both bars of the shift linkage and let my exhaust hang on the hanger in order to get the room i needed to pull the sway bar. I did it by myself so I'm going to have my friend who works on hondas look at it.

The front is different- Dc and eg stuff swaps easy but to ek the bends are a lil off. In the rear you can use 99-2000 Si rear ( same size as usdm gsr ) I have it on my ek and just that smaller bar makes a big difference..was suprised actually.

Or you can use the Blox endlinks, which are CONSIDERABLY cheaper. I looked last night, the the Si links are like $44 per side from Honda, but the nonadjustable Blox are like $35 shipped for both from jhpusa.

I've also found that you can get the USDM ITR swaybar for $72 from one of the Acura parts sites. Which is funny because most of the tuner sites are selling the JDM one for over $100. I'm not sure if I'd run that bar on a stock EJ without subframe reinforcement though.

I'm getting ready to piece together a swaybar setup myself.

I put a 96 integra gsr front sway bar on a 1998 civic coupe. the rear looks easy enough and the parts are on order. After i put on the front i found out one of the endlinks was broken so i replaced both sides and my gear linkage is still hitting the sway bar. oh and for the rear i have to bend my aftermarket exhaust to make it fit properly.

98civdx

you had to bend the exhuast?! something doesnt seem right to me here, or did you just move it around on the hangers?
the gsr and si rear are basicly the same it should have fit no problem.
are you still using ex front lca's? with si endlinks?

memphisautobahn

i am using the stock lca's. i have the si rear sway bar end links and cannot figure out how they mount up. the exhaust is not meant for the car and was free so i chopped it and made it fit.
i am more concerned with the shift linkage hitting the new sway bar. i am going to take some pictures and put them up later

I am about to put 95 GSR sway bars in an EK hatch that had none OE. The front LCA did NOT have provision for the end-links. Luckily The GSR part bolts in. Should be done this weekend.
