password JDM (www.passwordjdm.com) sells the front and rear ITR sway kits for like $79 each. Toss in a beaks kit for $65, and you are still less than $300 for a superior setup.

-JDM Honda ITR Front Strut Tower Bar
-Spoon Sports Rear Strut Tower Bar
-Ingall's Front Camber Kit
-Ingall's Rear Camber Kit
-Eibach Pro Kit
-KYB AGX Shocks
-Skunk2 21mm Rear Sway Bar
-Skunk2 Rear Lower Tie Bar (Titanium)
-Custom Welded Rear Subframe w/ Beaks Reinforcing Plates For Sway Bar
-Stock Civic Si Front 26mm Sway Bar

Comptech's got an excellent rear sway set-up but it would probably put you over your budget so I would probably go with ITR w/ Beaks.

that sounds like a pretty good Idea
but I thought he would have to buy LCAS and all that crap to use the ITR bars
I would just buy the ST for a little more and know they fit on your car
and get the beaks kit too
-eibach pro kit
-tokicko 5 ways
-USDM type R strut bar (off my type R -> she got a mugen)
-eleven strong bar and lower tie bar
-ST front and rear sway bars
another reason I back up ST is that I bought my sway bars from a local guy that wrecked his car befor he installed the bars well I was thinking all civics would have to be the same
but I got the front one for the civic with the OEM front bar so nothing fit right!
I called up ST and they sent the parts for free (all I payed was shipping) and I had them 2 days later!
everything works great even with me beating on it regularly
ST=GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RELIABILITY

other wise I would give comptech some seriouse consideration
thier product quality is BADASS and I really like all thier stuff
but I would get a front sway bar on at the same time as the rear or else you will be tail happy

Nope. He doesn't need ITR rear LCAs to use the ITR bar. I believe that you use the 99-00 SI endlinks for the ITR bar.

Just be very carefull with ST bar, there have been many people who have ripped out their I-beams and subframes.

How would a sway bar made from honda not fit on the car?

The si endlinks imply to people who drive ek's. He looks to have a 95 civic so he will want to use gsr lca's if he doesnt alread have a rear swaybar stock on his civic. The itr lca's will work too, but then he will need new shocks.

I thought you could use the ITR endlinks with an EG (I believe you can). I nany event.

I had:

Neuspeed Race springs
KYB AGX's
Neuspeed Front Lower Tie bar
Neuspeed Rear Lower Tie bar
ITR strut tower bar (I'm selling this if any is interested. The ends are black and it doesn't have the ITR decal on it anymore)

I sold everything (ITR bar still up for grabs).

Whne my car gets out of the shop I'm installing:

Tein SS coilovers (Bought already)
Front/Rear ITR upper Strut Tower bar (On the Way)
JDM ITR Rear sway bar
Beaks Reinforcement kit
Front/Rear Lower Tie (beuspeed)
And I will be ordering a set of custom spring rates from Tein for track days soon.
