I have this same set up, and yes they will work, but you need longer bolts to connect it. Let us know how it turns out.

Yes, you will need a nut since the holes aren't prethreaded.

Finally got my lca's, now all of my bolts are seized and breaking one by one . What can I do to get the bolt that goes onto the wheel assembly off if its broken?

Also my sway bar doesnt look like it will bolt up to the hoe on the Omin lca's, does anyone have pics of their bolted in?

Must be all that salt from the roads in Canada. Perhaps drilling the broken part out is an idea, but those bolts are really hard. Here's an ITR sway bar with Omni LCAs.

Yea salt forsure played a factor...I really wish the idiots who put springs in my car 4 years ago would have used anti seize .
I thought about drilling into the bolt but either way the other end of it is still in the LCA and i had no real way of getting to it without removing everything.


As for the sway bar, it just doesnt look like the holes on my Omni lca's will line up with my gsr sway cause oem the sway bar is bolted in on the top of the lca with that bracket... From your pic looks like it should work though, I suppose i could just jack the car up/down until it lines up.

Yes, the stock Integra LCAs have the holes near the top. Just angle the endlink more towards the hole by swiveling the sway bar.

Use a jack to lift up the hub, which in turn will lift the LCA to line up the bolt.

So do they bolt up when the hub is lifted up?No ghetto magix washer tricks or anything?

Im about to order the Omni LCAs and need to know also.

Get yourself a set of adjustable endlinks for 50 bucks. They are made by a company called function7 and they will solve all your problems when it comes to hooking up the stock sway to aftermarket LCAs.

I used the stock end links on my Omni's. I just went to a store here in town that has every nut, bolt, and washer you could imagine. Took one of the stock bolts in and told them I wanted to that were longer. I think they were 80mm long and two locking nuts. It took a little bit of pursasion to get the bolts to get in, but they went in. They stick out the back of the LCA's about an inch but it's not hurting anything. If you can't get the factory end links to line up and need longer bolts and can't find any let me know and I will get you two. If you need I can go out on Friday and take pictures of the front and back to give you a better idea if that would help.

Cool man I will try getting longer bolts and massage it in. It just looked like it wouldnt sit properly because when the bolt and endlink were straight the endlink was still about an inch from the lca, but I'll give the longer bolts a try and post the outcome, thanks.

You probably don't need the 80mm bolts, but I wasn't doing mine at home. I went 50 miles away and did alot of work at my grandfather garage with AC, and grandma's cooking so I got a few different sizes and the 80mm were the shortest. You could probably get away with 70mm. Just let me know if you need some. The store is about 3 miles from my house and I think the two bolts with locking nuts ran me a whopping $2.36

Right on thanks man. I managed to get them bolted up today with about an 80mm bolt.
Im not sure if the endlink is lined up good enough though....I put the bolt through the endlink, then 3 washers between the endlink and the LCA. But theres still a slight akward angle on the endlink bushing....should it be a 90-ish angle?

Mine aren't lined up perfectly either, but it is bolted up and does the job so you should be allright. Glad everything worked out for you

I have the same problem never got around to puting the sway back on. Wondering if it would work on a dropped car. Everything is real squished. I heard that if the bolts on the sway don't go straight out but at an angle the sway will not function properly. Not sure but just what i heard anyone have anything on this? thanx.
