You can have both on the car as long as the brackets don't interfere with each other. I got the combo package from ST that has an intergrated Tie bar in the mountng bracket, just like Comptechs.

Hey, SpecR_EK. Do you know if neuspeed has the same integrated brackets on their lower tie bar? I was planning on ordering both the rear lower tie bar, and the sway bar from neuspeed, and just thought I'd ask you. I'm wondering if I should be concerned with either one interfering with the function of the other. BTW, how do you like your ST rear suspension setup? Nice performance? Thanx!

Re: Sway bar and lower tie bar????? (Siphor)
Neuspeed does not make an intergrated bracket, so you'll have 2 seperate pieces. The sway comes with reinforcement brackets to avoid having the sway tear out the subframe, the tie bar should come with bolts long enough to mount the bar over the sway bar's reienforcement brackets. If anything call up neuspeed and ask....seems kinda silly to make parts that won;t work together when they should. If they say both can be used, there's no worry about the bars interfering with each other. One stiffens the lower chassis and the other controls body roll.
As for the ST setup I love it! My car has a neutral feel to it now since my front factory sway is also 22mm. It's easier to corner, but if you overcorrect too much in steering you could end up in a 4 wheel drift as I have 2 times already.
Siphor: they do make the ST bar for the 5th gen civic. it may require more drilling, but it's worth it If you're interested in getting it I'll give you the info for the place I got mine at.

Here's a pic of a 5th gen with the ITR rear sway and a neuspeed lower tie.
Yes, I know it's not recommended to do it like this, but this is how I've had it for about 2 years now, and no damage whatsoever.
I would invest in a BSQ or Beaks kit though.

Get the Beaks kit. That BSQ kit looks like a POS. Plus the beaks has a rear support unlike the other one. Doesnt look like it was hacked together at 3 in the morn too.
