Ok so I just bought a asr subframe brace and a 22 mm swaybar and I was wondering if I need to buy anything else except the endlinks and the mounting bracket for the bar and bushings?
If I need anything else let me know I don't wanna come up short when I put it all together

SpeedoKing

that should be all just make sure that you dont have stock LAC's, I heard that on the dx lx and ex LAC's there is no place to bolt in the end links.

93egSLEEPER

you should invest in a new set of lca's. they have better bushings and look better also.

98civdx

do you syock lcas??
as both said you will need new ones

ekhatchey

I have stock ones right now but have a set of blox ones lined up

ekhatchey

My stock ones have a hole in the middle I couldn't mount them there

SpeedoKing

I dont think so but i may be wrong...

ekhatchey

Cuz I was looking at the ones from blox and the hole for the endling mount is in the same spot as the hole on my stock ones

93egSLEEPER

i think eks lca's came with a spot for the rear swaybar. they were all interchangable from dx to si, and the si had a swaybar option i beleive using stock lcas

ekhatchey

Ok well I have a dx so does that mean that I could put it on till I get my new lcals

thumper64

yes, you can put the sway on, just zip tie it up so it doesn't hit or drag on anything.

Use OEM LCAs and not BLOX. The bushings will go bad in a matter of months even if you clock them right. Get Energy Suspension bushings for the OEMs if you're worried about bushings.

ive had my blox lcas over a year now and they are fine.....

With a 22mm on an EJ/EK, you may want to go with a Beak's or ASR kit, especially if you're planning to run it hard.

Some people have been known to have problems tearing subframes out with big swaybars on these cars. Some people have no problems at all... If you go bigger than 22mm later, I'd definitely go with subframe reinforcement.

Is it a hollow or solid bar?

^^^ read the first post he has a asr bar, with 22mm sway.

Do people talk from experience here or is it internet hear say?

Whoever says dx rear lca's dont have provisions for a sway bar; probably DOES NOT have a rear sway bar.
The only thing the si has and dx doesnt have in the rear is the 2 welded nuts on the backside of the subframe to bolt in your d-brackets.
But your asr kit should have that in the hardware.
I DO speak from experience as i installed this same setup less than 24 hours ago.

Your stock lca's are perfect. Aftermarket will draw attention to your expensive sway bar setup and do nothing else.

Thanks for the input guys I just need to get the D brackets and the bushings anyone know where I can get a set of 18 mm bushings my friend is doing the same thing but is using a 18 mm

thumper64

I had mine for like 3 months, installed them right and with just a little aggressive driving, they were making popping noises and the inner part of the bushings were sagging. They're garbage as far as I see it.

Make sure you are using si endlinks.

ej1love

yeah dont forget you have to bolt the brackets on, and if you see a hole in ur lca's your good to go...

honisoto

that is everything you need.

fastrxu

You can go on ebay and buy custom d-brackets
With your own specs i.e. Width/height/ mounting hole distance etc. If they dont have your size contact one of the sellers and see if they can order you some.

Ps i thought you had 22mm sway bar and maybe contact the manufacturer if you bought without hardware

Vindicator9000

ah, crap. my bad.

ekhatchey

Thanks for all the input guys its been a lot of help

I do have a 22 mm my friend who has a coupe has a 18mm

98civdx

haha
man i do it so often lol

fastrxu

So who needs the bushings? Who needs d brackets?

Contact the manufacturer of whichever sway bar needs the hardware
