Default Want to put GSR Front Sway Bar on EK. Should I use Front GSR Front LCA or EX/HX?

I want to put on a GSR front sway bar on my 96 EK Hatch. Should we be using a GSR Front LCA or a EX/HX one? Which Endlink should I use?

Thanks.

If it's compatible you'll need si/ex lcas and aftermarket or Si/ex endlinks.

just get an ex or si sway bar and lca from 96-00.

i think suspension goes like 92-95 civic is compatible with 94-01 integras.

Integra sway bars are compatible with 96-00 civics.

Though i do agree on the front sway, and ex/si is plenty for up front for most drivers.

Just FYI, 6th gen EX and Si LCAs and swaybars are completely different. The EX (19mm I believe) shares LCAs with the DX and LX. The Si is a 26mm.

The Si LCA is beefier and one piece, while the EX is two pieces. The Si damper fork is also wider to accommodate the beefier LCA.

Uh, no, they aren't. Completely different shape and subframe.

The GSR won't fit correctly. You need one from an EX or SI, and you also need the matching lower control arms. EX for EX sway, SI for SI sway.

I had an ITR rear sway on my old car. Aftermarket LCA's.

Si or ex lcas will work, they are different though.

Everyone knows the rear sway fits fine, it's the front that doesn't. Did you even read the thread you linked? It doesn't fit right.

But it fits.

True, i'd use an ex or si bar instead.
