Default help with ITR sway install EG - endlinks w/omnipower lca

I am trying to install an ITR sway on my 92 civic si - usdm itr sway and BSQ Kit. I am using DC endlinks and I cannot get the endlinks to line up at all, the angle is so bad I can't even get the endlink bolt into the the LCA at all. I must be missing something.

yes i just found out that a few people had problems with the omni lca when using DC endlinks. Has anyone had good results with EK or EM endlinks, or possibly any aftermarket endlinks?

Washers and a longer bolt should do the trick

omni = cheap upon purchase; but more trouble as you put it on the car

dam that's crap, the reason I bought these is because my stock lcas didn't have a place for a sway. I would rather not use washers. Has anyone tried using a different set of endlinks?

the place where the sway bar meets is in the wrong position. i think you will need some type r lca's because the sway bar mounting points are in a different location.

It was recommended that you use lcas for a DC, which these are. I guess I would have to use stock dc lcas? Has anyone tried endlinks from a 99 SI?

NO!

I have omni LCA's as well (should have gone with something diffrent, but that's beside the point). I used Blox endlinks with no problems. Washers could work, but not something i wanted to try...

The Blox endlinks are a nice product. I think i got them from King motorsports for ~$40 shipped.

I know it will work. Seeing as i have a DC2 (essentially the same subframe) with sway/omni LCA's (reinforcement kit will not change fitment)

But anyways, bump for your confirmation.. I wish i knew about the terrible omni LCA to sway fitment before i bought them.
