ITR LOWER CONTROL ARMS INTO CIVIC EK
I was wondering if itr front lower control arms will fit my 99 civic ek? I recently got a nice swaybar for a type r, but my civic dx doesnt have the mounting holes for the swaybar to be mounted. Will the itr front lower control arms bolt right in? any info will be helpful..

you can run the bar still...EK's LCAs DO HAVE swaybar mounting holes (even if they don't come with a rear sway from the factory), I know this because I have a 2000 dx hatch myself...you will need to run Si endlinks
I would look into a ASR or Beaks reinforcement kit if the diameter is large (22mm+)

this applies but he is talikng about fronts.
front DC LCAs can only be used if you use DC front crossmember/steering rack.
otherwise don't bother slapping just DC/EG type sway bar , as there is not enough clearance.
your alternative for the front is: 99-00 Si front LCAs and bar or 96-00 EX front LCas and bar. rear can be sourced off the 99-00 Si for best results.

what he said ^
a good place to source a si front sway bar swap (bar, endlinks, lca's, & forks) is http://www.importautosalvage.com
