TTT come on everyone.. i want to get this sway bar installed this week..

Apex i ITR

If you have a 5g Civic you don't need Integra LCA's I believe.

You need the bar, endlinks, bushings (Unless you go with some ploy ones) and it would be wise to get a sub frame reinforcement kit, beaks or BSQ. That should be it.

I'm not sure which application you need, but I know you need end-links and anit-sway bar D brackets w/ bushings. ITR parts are probably what you need.

EGTeK

You will need:

22mm ITR Sway Bar
Brackets and Bushings
Endlinks
Chassis Reinforcement Kit
Integra Rear LCAs
Necessary Bolts and Nuts

Edit: For the front:

Si EG 21mm front sway or GSR 24mm front sway. Depends on what type of drive you are. i suggest the gsr front for less oversteer.

Keep the EX front sway... you will have less understeer + its just more work!!

i can get the front sway bar cheap, so if it will help i want to do it.. how big is the stock sway bar upfront compared to the gsr one??

SI/EX 5g is 22mm - GSR is 24mm

Some people say the 2mm is not a difference, but I have the GSR + ITR rear and I did it because I thought it would be too "loose" with a 22mm front.

I just dont think its worth the extra time + $$...

TurboBumblBee

if i was to go ahead and get the gsr front, what parts are needed to install it?? and can you post pics of your suspension setup or let me know how it runs.. this is what ive been thinking..

ITR rear sway bar w/ beaks kit
GSR front sway bar
Tokico Illimina shocks
Skunk2 Coilovers
Rear lower tie bar
front and rear strut bars
and a chamber kit once i get new tires this summer..

yay or nay??

I am thinking you need GSR endlinks...

my setup is basically the same, upgrading later to either Custom rate GC's + Koni yellows or Tein RA's..

[edit] - tyres make your suspension, I reccomend Falken Azenis
