Since you have a 97, the rear lca is ready for swaybar. What size are you looking for. You can get stock 99-00 Si, 94-00 integra which i think both are 19mm. Or you can go 22mm or 23mm type r, but then you will need the beak kit.

just make sure the si sway bar comes with endlinks and brackets, and you'll be good.

like kaiba said, you could also use the integra rear sway bars, gsr being 14mm, itr at 22mm and jdm-itr at 23mm. btw, the si sway is 13mm. the integra rear sway bars need to use the si endlinks, though. if you do get something over 14mm, you should probably get a subframe reinforcemcent kits so you dont tear out the subframe. check out a-spec-racing.com or beaksproducts.com if you're interested.

something you should probably know is that a rear sway without a front will get you some oversteer, not sure how much, since i've never tried a car with only the rear sway. if you want a front sway, you'll have to use the front lca and sway off the 99-00 si or 96-00 ex. the front sways off the integra tend to be a bit big, and they might hit the shift linkage or cat. not too sure.

good luck, i'm about to do the front and rear swaybars to my ek hatch soon.

Around $80. It's not the si say bar that costs a lot, it's the endlinks that make it expensive.

yeah, the rear sway is pretty easy to install

just position the sway bar in, then loosely mount the brackets. attach the endlinks, tighten the endlinks, then tighten the mounting brackets.

none really, an si is a 13mm in diameter, just bring a ruler or a micrometer. aslo, make sure its a 99-00 si, and not an 01+.

how much is this 'good price'.

you gotta remember the mounting hardware too- brackets and endlinks.

the p/n's are:
P/N 52321-S04-003 - left rear endlink
P/N 52320-S04-003 - right rear endlink
P/N 52300-S52-A01 - swaybar

the endlinks are about 45 each from oe honda, and the sway bar about 60, all new- so 150 if you get it from like hondaautomotiveparts.com
