Default 96 hatch has no sway bars

All I Need to know is what front and rear sway bars I can use on my hatch. Factory items preferrably. I understand I would have to use the same year/model LCA's?

You can use the front bar from really any car...... Just need the right endlinks. If you just want to bolt it up a 96-00 EX/99-00 Si front bar and the 99-00 Si rear bar. If you go anything bigger than the 99-00 Si rear bar you're going to need to get some kind of subframe reinforcement. The 96-00 Civics have a habbit of the subframe tearing away from the chassis. I suggest the A-spec Racing kit.

Im not looking for anything outrageous. For the front I was intending on using all factory EX equipment.

The rear I was more concerned with, I can get a 96 or 97 gsr rear bar pretty cheap. Im not sure what endlinks or mounts to use. Im gussing I could use the GSR endlinks and mounts.......this is where I need the help

A 99-00 si rear sway bar will bolt right up if it comes with endlinks, brackets, etc. Any front sway bar will require different front lca's and in some cases different shock forks. I think a GSR sway bar will work, but you need 99-00 si endlinks.

You can use the GSR endlinks, but you'll just have to use a nut and bolt to attach it rather than the threads already being on the link.

cool, so just to make sure i got this correct......

Up front I can run all EX equipment. Swaybar, Endlinks, "C" Mounts, and LCA's.
Rear I can use GSR bar with GSR endlinks and GSR "C" mounts. stock LCA's.

Thanks for the help guys
