Default Need to know ASAP, will a 96-00 ek swaybar work on my 92 cx ???

Was about to buy a swaybar,
but I noticed it was for 96-00 civics,

I know those come with lcas that can accept swaybars,
but is there any other difference that would make it not work on an eg chassis?
my car is a 92 cx.
i plan on swapping out the lcas or drilling the hole

need to know asap!!
thanks!

Should fit. I had A GSR swaybar on my 00 Si once, so if you think about it, they're pretty much interchangeable, now the only problem I can think of, is the endlinks.

yeah its the subframes I think,
EG subframes are alil different from EK subframes.

hmm, now that I think aobut it, i just parked right next to an EK.. haha I should go look.

I'm going to see if I can swap the brackets out or something.

yeah the ek subframe and lcas are shaped differently than the eg ones.
they're beefier.
the lcas are alot thicker(top to bottom),
and the eg subframe kindof comes to a point where it attaches to the lca,
whereas the ek subframe just stops flat.

the holes on the subframe are alittle different too

Yeah the "EG" LCAs are really thin they look pretty weak; but I do believe you can use the "EK" sway bar; if not shell out 50 bucks and just get an ITR one?

lcas aren't the problem the subframe is.
its shaped differently, requiring a different swaybar mounting bracket.

I had to pass on the swaybar
