Help with sway bar [edit] with pictures
I'm trying to install a Si rear Sway bar on my 91 DX I've ran into a few problems
1st: The rear lower control arm has no mounting hole so i started searching for a Si lower control arm, that can be solved.
2nd: the top mount for the sway bar; it has two holes. The two holes on my car and the swaybar matches, but the problem is that the holes on the car is too big and also it's not threaded. My friend suggested getting bigger bolts but that means the bolt will be bigger than the holes on the swaybars itself. Also friend suggested taking off the bumper and reaching on the other side and use a nut to secure the bolt. I'm not sure which is the best way. The nut sound more promising and more realiable than the bigger bolt idea.
Has anyone installed a swaybar on a DX? Or can help me? Thanks!!
Lower control arm no where to mount this:
Those holes are bigger than:
not threaded as well.

Re: Help with sway bar [edit] with pictures (shanghaining)
Looks like all you would need is the Lower controll arms, The holes Im not to sure about Because the Way they mont is the Go under the towe hooks... So I Guess i dont see how that they couldn't be threaded... the towe hooks are bolted in.. Do some Searching Not to sound like the h8ters or anything, but Search like "Rear Sway bar" in the crx forum or Lower Control arms to find pictures of other peoples. And Just try to figure it out.

Re: Help with sway bar (shanghaining)
youre not supposed to be able to just bolt on the rear swaybar brackets on anything other than a Si. only the crx and civic si chassis have the threaded holes for the stock swaybar bracket.
thats why ppl buy the suspension techniques kit because it comes with its own brackets that will work with the rear tow hook anchors.
the best thing you can do is modify the bracket to bolt into the rear tow hooks.
