yes a 99-00 si coupe will work, so will the ITR or GSR with few minor mods

a stock si rear will work.. you just need all the stuff for it ie. endlinks, bushings, d brakets etc. i believe its a 13mm bar. the ITR is bigger (22mm).

SiR the endlinks match up just right

Get the ITR, it'll fit, its bigger, better, and its cheap too.

do i have to get new LCAs to put a rear sway bar on my eg hatch? IT doesn't have wholes in the lcas.

C1V1C

ya, you have to get 94+ teg lcas or if you can find them from a 92-95 civic or a del sol, there pretty cheap though

mantic6t9

it sucks you would figure they would put a sway bar in the si hatch but no, not in 93 anyway. Another thing do the integra LCA use the same shock to lca bushings? i have ES bushings i would like to use, i had to put them in when i installed my koni yellows. I noticed you have koni yellows how many perches are on yours. Mine have 5 on all 4 shocks. I'm starting to thing they are the neuspeed koni yellows 'cause everyone else says they only have 2 settings in the front and 3 in the back. LAter...

ya I think mine have 2 front 3 rear. the integra lcas are almost exactly the same as the civic ones, just have the swaybar holes, I think from 92-95 the Si hatches got screwed with the small front brakes and no rear sway, at least we got 4 wheel disc brakes

C1V1C

oh ya, no front lip too

The 99-00 Si sway will bolt right to it with the endlinks, bushings, etc, but it's only a 15mm bar, you'll notice a difference but won't be very much. Mugen makes a sway bar kit, that encludes a chassis reinforcement kit, you'll still need the Si links and bushings. I did the Mugen 22mm and I LOVE IT... http://www.kingsmotorsports.com

how much though? I paid about $80US for the 22mm ITR bar including BSQ mount kit, ES poly bushings and ITR endlinks.

where did you find the ITR rear sway bar? I'm looking for one. Also, what else did you need to install? I drive a 00 ex.

nevergiveup

So an ITR rear sway bar will just bolt up to the 97 civic coupe?
with all the end links and stuff (for the SI right?)

now a question
the car will not be put into any competition
so will it be better with no mod and get the SI sway
or
drill holes and get the ITR sway with beaks reinforcements?
or
just go get the comptech rear tie/sway bar

any opinions will be appreciated

anyone please answer my prev question
thank you

onefastcx

go with the itr
it will fit with no modification

donkeypunch

If you get a bar for a 99-00 SI, after market or stock, you do NOT have to change LCAs. Just FYI.

nevergiveup

hey onefastcx
what do you mean by no modification
thought you had to drill ahole for the brackets to fit caz the 2 stock hole is too close
because the stock SI sway bar is 14MM or so and the ITR is like 22mm (correct me if im wrong) so the ITR is thicker so the stock bracket holes will not line up.
thats why i put the beaks reinforcements caz if i make a hole i want some reinforcements.
so the question is
"is the ITR sway bar worth the hole and extra $ for reinforcements?"

thanks alot guys

Where did you find that for $80...I would like to know...but a little information if you didn't know this...the ITR rear swaybar is made by Mugen, Honda buys them and makes their own hardwear for the kit...by the way I paid TOO much for mine...

ToneyTigre

so you want a Si sway bar eh? you might have to drill two holes on your LCA for the bolts. other than that, it goes right in. if your interested, i'll sell you mine with everything (endlinks, bushlings, bolts.) for a good price in perfect condition. e-mail me chubbibabies@excite.com if your interested.

nevergiveup

well i decided to get the mugen from a guy on this board
selling everything with bar for 170 and the bar is from kings
well im going tonight looking at it and if its really clean im buying it
how much for the SI with all the hardware toney?

LRCivicEX

I already have one...I bought the 22mm Mugen kit for the EX about a year ago, the only thing I had to buy was endlink and mounting brackets, at the time I worked at a honda dealer so I got it cheap...I ****ing love it man...thanks though
