Default EG SWAY BAR HELP!

I have a jdm 23mm rear itr sway bar with asr subframe brace and was thinking about getting a gsr front sway. i think the gsr sway is a 23mm or 24mm so it should be pretty neural. i dont have a stock sway bar so my front lower control arms have no mounting holes. can i use ls front lower control arms instead of the gsr since it will probally be a little cheaper? what other parts do i need for the front besides the sway bar, endlinks, D brackets, and lower control arms?

Any of the Integra front arms will work, and your list of stuff is complete

if you're going for a good suspension setup that will handle, then a big front sway isn't the way to go.

A front bar alone will make for an understeering pig, but with the rear bar he has, the car should handle very well. I run a very similar setup (USDM ITR rear bar is the only difference) and love the balance. On track (and even moreso on the street) I don't even want a more rear-biased setup.

You got the parts you need. I have a GSR 24mm front and ITR 22mm rear. Love it.

You can get them from the dealer, or use aftermarket. For a stock bar, aftermarket is probably more expensive, and not really worth it. That poly bushing probably won't work, unfortunately.

Where X is the nut, I is the bolt, and the top of the I meets the underscores is a balljoint sort of joint of the GSR endlink

Those would NOT work on my 00 GSR stock front swaybar, I can tell you that much. A 90* bend in the endlink itself is needed to connect the bar, because they are drilled for a horizontal bolt. I'm going to assume the 01 swaybar is the same, and that they won't work for you.

You can see how the endlinks differ here. Notice 18 on the left, and 6 on the right.
