Default Will these LCAs accept a sway bar?

Someone told me these LCAs wouldn't take a front sway bar. They are from a 93 Si hatch. I have never put a sway bar on, so I'm not sure exactly what to look for, but it seems to me like they have the proper mount.

The front swat bar doesn't attach directly to those, its attaches to the piece (not sure what its called) that bolts up to those. You don't need them anyway your car already has a front sway bar.

Is it not like the rear? I was 90% sure the rear lower control arms had a mount for a sway. What do I need besides end links to mount a FRONT lower sway bar?

Those won't accept a swaybar unless it's the Suspension Techniques bar for vehicles without a factory front bar. They come with brackets.

You're missing half the swaybar, by the way. Those two silver holes are where the "A" piece attaches.

Damn, so it sounds like I need some pretty pricey parts to fit this ITR bar on? Here is are some pictures of the LCAs (same as above), plus the ITR front sway I have with endlinks. Not pictured are the D-brackets and bushings. SLHondaparts sells the A-arms for $220, which seems like a ridiculous amount of money on top of what I've already spent to get this damn thing on. Am I screwed unless I get those A-Arms?

Even if you buy the stock a-piece, it still won't accept a swaybar.

WTF? What do I need to attach a ITR Sway bar to a DX Hatchback? Krazy Glue?

Can anyone tell me what it would take to get this bar on my car? I have searched and not found an answer. Thank you.

You need an ITR a-piece.

I just put a ITR front sway bar on my 1993 civic ex 2dr. It already had a front sway bar, so i guess you need ex front control arms...as for the rear sway bar, i installed an ITR rear while my car originally didnt come with one. I had to buy aftermarket control arms, and a beaks reinforcement kit....i then drilled two new holes in the subframe...

I would say do some research and look for a civic or integra that came original with a front sway bar, and get those a arms. or do like the suspension techniques kit and fab some brackets. or look into the aftermarket and see if someone makes an aftermarket a arm.

As mentioned above, you don't need the control arm. You need the piece that attaches to the control arm -- one that has provisions for the end links ( the little hole ). The part you need can be found on any 94+ integra and 92-00 civics ( except 99/00 EM1 ) that came w/ a front sway bar.

Okay, so I need to look for a 94-01 Inegra or 92-00 Civic "A-Arm" from a model that came equipped with a front sway? Does anyone have any good links to where I could get this item for less than the $200 Honda wants? Or is anyone selling one? Thanks!

Look around on craigslist or your local junkyard. I paid 40bucks for an integra set. 200$ is just plain pure dealer rape.
