I have an 88 CRX HF, but it appears the previous owner may have swapped out the LCA's with 89-91 LCA's, the Koni's are apparently for an 89-91. Anyway, I bought an ST 22mm rear sway bar off of realspeed who had it on 88 LCA's apparently. I assume those holes inboard of the shocks are where a stock rear sway would fit, but not the ST. So how do I mount the ST rear sway on this thing? These are pictures of the left and right side, respectively.

Those are definitely rear LCA's from an 89-91 Si (or 90-93 DA, but probably not). The non-Si's from those years did not have the holes in the LCA's for the rear swaybar. Not sure how you could rig an '88 bar up to work. People have probably done it, but you might be better off just getting a bar for an 89-91 that bolts right up to those holes.

 

Well the ST bar is meant for either 88 or 89-91 setups, it's just that the 88 had an adapter kit. I'm sure there is a way I can do this without having to buy a whole new setup.

 

did the kit come with the 'L' brackets to mount the endlink to the bottom of the shock or lca?

yup thats the key...u need the "L" bracket that goes from that shiny endlink on the bar to the lower shock mounting bolt

Exactly!

You can see the bracket in this pic for the most part!

 

Alright, I guess I need to track one down. I hope realspeed still has one. So does that L bracket go on the front of the shock? What keeps it from rotating?

yup it does...and the only thing that keeps it from rotating is the torque u put on the lower shock bolt that goes through it

interesting

I think realspeed sounds like he can track one down for me, lemme know if anyone has one just in case he can't come up with one.

 

youll need 2. one per side

The L brackets from my ST 22mm rear bar have a lip welded onto them that catches the side of the shock mount to prevent them from rotating.
