there are two issues.

1. you need the Si rear LCA that have the sway bar endlink hole. easily found. i even suggest buying them new. I got em for $130 shipped with a $10 discount. come fresh with new bushings and paint.

2. this is the much harder issue: there is no threaded hole in the frame to bolt the swaybar bracket. i think there are holes, but they are not threaded.

you can do 2 things.

A. weld an adaptor plate on the bracket to mount to the tow hook holes. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1146145

B. just drill up in the holes and through the rear floorboard inside to locate the position of the holes. then make it a larger clearance hole so you can drop two bolts down.

i suggest option A.
