Default type r rear sway bar on em1 chasis

hi i tried searching but nothing came up, would a type r rear sway bar hook right up too the 00 si chasis or would i need new lca's....

also, i was wondering what else can i do too my suspension, i have front and rear strut braces, st front sway bar, obx rear and front lower tie arms, kyb agx with skunk2 lowering springs. what else can i do to make my car handle better for autocrossing this year. I am looking for a rear sway bar too buy so that will be on as soon as i can find one...

any input would be helpful...

The sway bar will fit, but you need the Si endlinks. In addition you will need a subframe reinforcement like the ASR kit, or the sway bar will rip right out.

wait isn't the EM1 a strut car?

Im sure you could get it to work, but i think it might need to be custom.

PM vtecvoodoo to see if eibach makes anything

well my car is a 00 si....and already comes stock with a 13mm rear sway bar....the reason i'm asking if the itr or ctr rear sway bars will fit is b/c i heard that when you upgrade too sway bars bigger than 19mm you need new lca...but all the forums i read are for cars that are non si's....

any input for those other 99-00 si owners..

they do fit, I went from stock 13mm rear sway bar on my 1.6EL to 22mm CTR...all I added was subframe reinforcement (Beaks kit at the time), now going the much safer route...ASR brace with 23mm JDM ITR rear sway bar.

The end-links will work too if they are not seized, but subframe reonforcement is a must.

You'll need the rear sway bar with bushings and brackets, hardware and subframe reinforcement.
