Hey, I have a DX coupe (with GSR rear LCAs) and I'm thinking about buying rear sway bar and I had a few questions:
- I have mounting holes on the unibody but they don't go all the way through; should they?
- I don't have a reinforcement kit; is it REQUIRED or just suggested? I'm not planning on Autocrossing, but I'm just not a fan of body roll. Do I need the whole ASR Reinforcment thing or will a Beaks reinforcement kit do?
By the way, if anyone is selling a rear sway bar kit w/ hardware, I'm still looking.

1. you have a ej2 so no you don't need the reinforcement kit. the subframe hole placement on the 92-95 is better the the 96-00 civics.
2. the holes are drilled from the factory to go in the subframe only and not through it. you put the bolts through the holes and fasten them behind the subframe walls.
3. comptech and ASR makes the best reinforcement kit if you decide to go that route but IMO you don't need it unless you're running a ITR bar or bigger or road race/ autocross on a regular basis which you said you don't.
BTW I got my ASR kit from passwordjdm but there's plenty of other vendors on HT that sells them too. shop around or buy it used on HT.
