Default Sway Bar Compatibility

A couple questions:

1) Will a 2001 Integra GSR rear sway bar and end links fit on a 2000 civic coupe, or is a combination of GSR sway and civic end links required, or not at all?
2) What is the size diameter, and if it does fit, should a re-enforcement plate be used?

Thanks!

I have a gsr sway bar on my 96 coupe, with the endlinks that came with it (junkyard raid). Yes it fits, I had to mess with how some stuff lines up with minor drilling, and use a few washers for it to be spaced functionally.

The bar itself is a 14mm diameter, no need for a brace with that size. 19mm is usually the cutoff for reinforcement.

Could you elaborate on what you had to drill and what needed spacers please.

the stock endlinks didnt line up with the holes in the lca's. IIRC they were 1 1/4" or so inward, so i drilled new holes on those.
The spacing was for the bracket that mounted to the subframe, the frame side had an S-shape to it so i used wide washers to bring the sides to an even plane and to maximise the surface area on the frame as a makeshift beaks kit. PM me your email and I'll send you pictures of what i have.
