Default OT ?: you want a 99-00 si bar without spending $$$ give me some inputs.

so i found a way to install a 26MM front bar without buying new LCA and damper forks. basically i
made a endlink that will allow us civic owners to utilize the 26 mm bar without having to buy extra
parts. would anyone be interested in this endlink for 40 + shipping? probably save a lot of money and
time buying and installing lca and the fork. any input praised, please hold the lames.

You got pictures of the endlink?

I'm not sure if the DX/CX/SI control arms are supposed to take the forces of a 26mm sway bar.

That's pretty cool, but my Civic understeers enough as it is, I don't think I want a bigger front bar.

Si Control arms are made of stamped steel, while the DX/CX/SI are cast iron. the position where it mounts is a little different too. If it works, then I'll grab a set for sure

How much do you want for them anyways?

how long have you been using the endlinks?

And how is it mounted to the arm? The original rubber bushings?

Default Re: (happies713)

used some other custom links for about 3-4 months. this one as of today, two days. i used
poly-urathane bushings and grade 8 bolts. oh yea they're not metric cause of cost. same compared
to metric bolts but cheap. all you will need to install the 26mm bar is the BAR, bushing, bushing mount,
and my endlinks. endlinks will come with poly urathane bushing and all hardware needed.

local will be $40, or 40+ shipping everywhere else.

im using the 26 front bar and 14 mm gsr rear bar. in need of type R.

oh a dx, hmm. you still will need to buy any civic LCA that comes with a Front sway bar. i can probably
pick one up for you at a salvage yard if you really want it not sure of the cost. your best bet is to find
someone who has done this Si front sway bar the hard and costly way and ask them for their LCA.

If you have a Yardbirds near you, they have a large assortment of grade 8 metric bolts for the same price as SAE.

Maybe you should see how they hold up for a month or so before you start selling them.

so went to the track, this thing held. not suprising since the bolt is much bigger than those on a stock
endlinks. taking orders if anyone wants it. price is now 60 local, 60 + shipping everywhere else.

26mm front bar? anyone from bay area bring your car to me so i can test fitment. i'll also give discount

Driving a 1997 Honda Civic DX Hatch.

I just bought a ITR Rear Sway bar and I was wondering if you had 99'-00' Rear Stabilizer Links for sell?
- I also bought Beaks Subframe Reinforcement Kit.

In addition, I currently have a CTR Front Sway bar w/Endlinks (sitting in my garage) , if infact I can, how do I install it w/o having to buy the LCA's and forks?

you buy my endlinks and install the front ones. the fronts i do not have it since i do not have a itr or ctr bar.
i should be ordering a ctr bar from canada within a month. so expect rear endlinks some time next month.

yea if you have the ctr front bar (same as SI) you jus need my custom endlinks and you'll be hugging the
road like no other.

Mr. Choi do you have 99'-00' Honda Civic Si Rear Sway bar Endlinks? If so, how much for those? I do not need Endlinks for the front, my CTR Front Sway bar does have Endlinks. Thank you for you last reply but it wasn't directed towards answering my question.
