You would need:
- LCAs
- Forks
- Sway bar
- All mounting hardware
from a CTR or 99-00 Civic Si. I believe they are the same.

isnt the front 00 si and CTR the same size? 26mm ? except the si rear is like 13mm so the CTR would be much thicker.
i see people use ITR rear on EK's all u need is the si endlinks ?

front anti-sway bar
99 SI = CTR = 26mm
rear anti-sway bar
SI -> 19mm CTR->23mm
with itr rear anti sway bar, you can always drill a hole closer to the middle to put the endlink from the anti-sway bar in.

gotcha. now on another subject, the jimfab traction bars says 92-00 civic excluding the 99-00 si, is that because the LCA only has 1 bolt on the front side and the jimfab needs 2 bolts for that adapter?

Not sure. It may have something to do with the width of the lca. The bars might be too long or short.. not completely sure.

Re: (SPOONfdEK)
You aren't using ITR front upper control arms. Totally different design than the Ek.
When I say forks, I'm talking about the front suspension.
They are what's fitted to the base of your shock. What attaches to the lower control arm. The civic si / ctr forks are wider to accomodate the larger lower control arm.
When you are installing a civic si / ctr front sway bar, you need to install the civic si / ctr lower control arms, shock forks, the endlinks and the bar in order for it to work properly.
I would stay away from aftermarket for the front. OEM is best imo. Everything fits and nothing rubs. Plus an oem front set is pretty cheap. Usually around $150 for everything.
As for the rear..
In order for you to run a CTR or ITR rear sway bar, you need the following:
1. Sway bar
2. Bushings
3. D-brackets (what attach the bar to the frame)
4. Si endlinks
5. Beaks SRK. This is what supports the subframe. Without it, you run a very very good chance of ripping out yours, seeing that US Eks were never prepped to run anything bigger than 13mm as opposed to the CTR / ITR's 22mm bar.

Re: (fowleryo)
Is it possible to put CTR rear LCAs on USDM 96-00 Civics? Are there any real benefits to it other than being able to run CTR dampers? I've never seen anyone do it before.

I said REAR LCAs, not front LCAs. I know that the CTR has different REAR LCAs from all USDM 96-00 Civics and was wondering if it would fit. Notice that if you were to buy JDM coilovers, there would be a set for the EK4 and EK9, and we would get the ones for the EK4 since the rear EK9 dampers won't fit our cars.

You're misunderstanding. He was right. The 96-00 rear lcas are the same as the Ek9 lcas. No difference at all. They aren't like the ITRs which have a sort of cup shape.
I used to have EK9 Tein HA coilovers on my 00 hatch.
