Default GSR Front or Rear Sway Bar Fit EK Hatch?

Will either the GSR Front or Rear Sway bar fit the EK Hatch?

The front strut bar will bolt up. But for the rear sway you'll need aftermarket arms.

Better to just buy an aftermarket subframe brace and a 22/23 mm sway from a manufacturer. You can't just use the sway without the brace.

Probably not. I think only the EX/Si EK's came with LCAs that could accept Sway Bars. You will almost certainly have to use Aftermarket LCAs or Integra LCAs (which are my recommendation).

Integra LCAs will bolt up all around.

All EK rear lower control arms are the same. To use the GSR rear sway, you'll need all the mounting hardware for an Si rear sway.
see:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1811253

vital info from thread:
ES OEM Replacement Bushings: $9 @ autozone
Si Brackets: $25 from Honda
Si/CR-V endlinks: $10 from a junkyard
Misc Bolts: $1.xx at a hardware store

Good luck.

2 inches of clearance?
i hope you arent one of those people who put their front sway bars on upside down *L*

a few people have posted here "Why is my sway bar so low"

anyway, they will fit, just get the si front arms so you won't have to use some weird mounting bracket.

Front Teg sway on upside down or right side up, they are WAY too low to the ground. Took mine off today and put on an EX front sway so I could get the car on an alignment rack. How the heck can you put it on upside down anyway?? If you put it on upside down, it would hit the rear of the lower control arm where it mounts to the body....
