Default Which LCA's to use for Comptech sway combo

I have a 96 ek and im sure i cant use my stock lca's because my car did not come stock with a sway bar.

Im getting the comptech rear sway/tie combo and i know im going to need a new pair of lca's.

I know i could always stick with a set of gsr lcas or any other oem lca that came stock with a rear sway but what are my other choices?

I searched and found that SRR lca's work with the comptech combo as well, they seem hard to find and expensive though.

Do omni power LCA's work with comptech rear sway/tie combo?

If not what are some other choices?

Your stock one will work since they have the hole for the endlink in the LCA's.

Ok so omni power control arms will work with comptech setup, correct if im wrong....

Why do you say look for integra arm first, is that just because its cheeper?

Integra rear LCA's don't fit on to the 96-00 civic, since there dimentions are diffrent.

Dude your stock ones do come with swaybar holes. All 96-00 civics have rear lca's that have swaybar holes. Use them, don't waste your money on bling aftermarket ones.

i just read a post saying that omni power lca's dont come with holes for rear sway bar...? Kind of confused me.

Can someone clearify to make sure omni power lca's do work for comptech rear sway/tie bar combo?

Just go with the oem ones and spend your money somewhere else. You'll be 100 percent sure that they work with the comptech bar.

Go see if the OMNI power lca's have the holes for swaybar mount on them.

That will answer your question.

omni LCA have holes for sway bars... i had no problems putting my suspension techniques bar on. i think the comptech bar has adjustable endlinks, so it SHOULD work..

Why the **** are these aftermarket LCAs selling so well? It's pretty obvious that they are not up to the quality of the OEM units. Why the hell would you want shitty bushings that are held in place by set screws. Good luck with all that...
