Default '00 rear sway bar onto a '00 hatch - what do I need?

I see there appears to be some (non-threaded) holes on the rear LCA of my wife's '00 hatch for endlinks and d-brackets. I'm wondering if the '00 rear sway bar just swaps straight over to the DX chassis or not? Anyone know?

Yes it does. I believe only the Si came with one. 13mm if I remember.

Thanks, I'm guessing a second-hand Si bar would be easy to come by, and a good-enough upgrade for a daily driver. I was just unsure because the holes are there, but not threaded.

Yeah...the holes don't need to be threaded because the endlink bolt uses a nut to secure it to the LCA.

bar is a direct bolt-on. Only thing to keep in mind is that the holes in the rear subframe to mount the sway bar brackets are not threaded, so you have to slide a nut on the backside of it. The dealer diagrams don't show this little detail...
