Default Rear swaybar install - subframe

Is the subframe already tapped for the D brackets on the rear sway bar, or do I need to do anything?

I am not sure about the older Civics, but on the 01-05, anything less than an EX did noot come predrilled with spots. They make an adapter kit for it.

With that being said, I think 96-2000, any non-Si did not come with it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

all 96-00 is a direct bolt on, all the holes are there, 92-95 may need lower control arms depending on the trim

on the 92-95 the sub frame was already drilled for the mounts. You will need the lower control arms for the swap the only civics that had the control arms set up for a sway bar already had one. Acura Integras from 94 and up had the correct parts and are a direct fit to the car. Also I was told the 4dr civic ex had a rear sway bar

ok, thanks guys. I have the control arms already (Full GSR swap front and rear) Just wanted to know if its a bolt on affair. Any tear out issues with a s tock gsr bar? I will use an asr brace when I change to usdm ITR, but for now, the small 13mm shouldn't be an issue correct?

The GSR sway shouldn't be a problem.

On an EG, there are holes in the rear subframe already <FONT COLOR="red">but you will have to widen them with a drill bit of the appropriate diameter if the car did not come with a stock swaybar.</FONT>

Just keep that in mind before you get under there and start getting frustrated.

not always true, my 94 ex already had the holes in the subframe and bolts tack welded on from the factory, I replaced the lca's with teg ones and everything bolted up
