Default Swapping Swaybar from '93 EX to '94 DX

I went out to my parts car today ('93 Civic EX coupe) and noticed something I didn't notice before...a stock front swaybar on the front end.

What parts do I need to take off the parts car in order to swap the swaybar onto my '94 DX that doesn't have a stock front swaybar?

As long as you take off all the hardware, its a direct fit deal.

It looks direct, but I had one question about it being direct.


The swaybar has some u-clamps that appear to bolt up to the subframe...are the subframes the same?

the subframe is the same.
pull the U brackets, endlinks, LCAs, sway bar and all hardware associated with those parts.

Sweet, thanks guys


Whenever I Eibach suspension comes in I'll jack up the parts car, pull the parts, and swap everything over at the same time

Well, we finished our jobs early today, so we hooked up the work truck to the parts car and towed it into the shop.

We put my hatch on one lift and the coupe on the other and swapped everything over in about 30-45 minutes.

After that, we took it out for a spin...it's ALOT tighter and feels 10x better with the swaybar

Do you have a rear yet? That's where the fun begins

I've just got a rear on mine, and occasionally, I'll just let the *** trail out on a corner .... FWD Drift, yo!

Glad you got it swapped over. Things like that are way less work than they seem, and make such a significant difference.

I figured that the Eibach spring/shock combo would make more of a difference as opposed to a rear subframe brace and swaybar combo...so that's where I spent my money and hopefully by the end of next week that will all be set up.


If everything goes smoothly I'll get the ASR subframe brace and full Eibach Anti-Roll kit (upgrade the front, put one on the rear)....but I'm not 100% sure if the Eibach kit will work with the ASR brace....anybody know?
