Default 96 hatch doing 99 integra swap

Ok i just picked up the stuff last night and it seems to be in ok condition. here are my questions?
1. its missing the lca and it looks like the ones from my ek will not work i would like to get something better that stock. do i need to get gsr lca or what do i need.

2. i do not have a swaybar and i would like to get some for the front and rear. what should i buy it for the ek or the integra.

3. i saw a subframe connector the other day with a 32 mm sway bar baut i cant remember who made it. i think that a little over kill for me but the subframe piece looked nice and it made since for the what it for i like function over flash.

4. is there anything that i might need to get or would recommend to get i have order the energy sus bushings kit and i will order the lca when i know what to get i plan on running a different brake set up later on down the road but not not just new stock rotors and pads. thanks in advance

1. I think all aftermarket rear LCA's will have swaybar mounting holes in them. So do OEM ones. "Better" than stock is debateable, in your situation stock arms would be just as good as aftermarket ones.

2. You can take your pick of rear bars, but I'm not sure if your front lca's have holes for swaybars....

3. 32mm bar? lol, I'm gonna guess you saw the ASR (A-spec Racing) 32mm hollow bar and subframe reinforcement kit. There is no overkill when you are concerned about tearing out your subframe; best to spend some money now to make sure it doesn't happen, then to have it happen and shell out even more money to fix it. Typically, smaller bars (19mm and under I want to say) run a lower risk of tear-out problems, this is what I hear. But its related to other factors as well.

4. I recommend periods. I had a heck of a time deciphering this last question.
For the LCA's, see answer 1. I recommend a decent set of shocks/springs or coilovers if you haven't done so already.
