Default Blox LCAs: How to hook up rear sway bar....??

I just got a set of Blox LCAs for my 99 GSR. I noticed that they dont have any holes in them for the rear sway bar. How are you guys hooking the LCAs to the sway bars?? I'm lost...thanks!

Home Depot = Nuts / Bolts = DIY.....

Some times you got to think outside of the box....

My understanding is that Blox sells endlinks that work.

this guy just gave you the answer. You have to get a bolt AND NUT from home depot or whatever hardware store, and just do it that way. Its not too hard of a thing to figure out...

BTW, I also bought the BLOX endlinks and they dont work. I've been using my OEM. If anyone has any pictures on this it would help out...

i'm going to take a few pics of my LCAs later today or tomorrow and i'll have someone figure out where the bolt goes unless i can figure it out first....

I can't believe nobody else has used these before....

Here U go!!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS "STICK IT IN THE HOLE", AND IF YOU CANT DO THAT, YOU REALLY GOT ISSUES.... BTW... you might need some washers to have it sit properly...

I'm about to buy these LCA's should I get the endlinks or should I go with the blot/nut method? And Schister66, did you ever finish this?

i haven't done it yet, but after looking at it, the bolt method will work quite well....no need for the endlinks

Why wouldn't the bolts supplied with all the Sway bar hardware work? two bolts for the endlinks are included?

perhaps it's the bushings that suck (and indeed polyurethane does suck for daily driving), and not the control arms themselves.

bushings are a part of the arm, i dont think anyone is going to change them out.
