I bought a comptech lower rear tie bar, ITR rear sway with the correct D-brackets and prothane bushings. The only questions I have is the endlink holes on the ITR rear bar. Do I have to buy the bushings and hardware setup for the ITR or could I reuse my Si hardware setup. I know I can reuse the Si endlinks, but I notice that the aftermarket kits always have bushings for the endlink.



My question is do I have to buy parts #46 (aka #8), #11 and #37 or can I reuse my Si hardware. Thanks.

 

I'm pretty sure the Si rear sway doesn't have sleeve #8 or bushing #37. The endlink bolts directly to the bar and then directly to the LCA. So if your new ITR bar has that type of bushing/endlink combo in the pic, then yea you'd have to order them.

 

Its been a while since I did mine but I believe the gentleman above is correct.

 

Thanks guys. I'll give the local Acura dealership a call and order them. I just hate buying parts that aren't needed.

 

Dunno if it would make sense to ship the parts, but usually the savings on the parts offsets the cost of shipping in your favor:

Acura Automotive Parts
Honda Automotive Parts

Great for large orders, parts are about 20% off from those of a stealership

I know of those sites, but since i'm ordering such a low amount of items it saves me money to pick it up. Besides the stealership is on the way home.

Just an update on my progess though:
The endlink bushings (#11) have a hole that is big enough for the OEM Si endlinks to go through, but items #8 (aka #46) are not needed. You have to really push the nut back onto the endlink bolt in order for you to get a good fastening. Also item #7 is too big for aftermarkets sway bar bushings I'm getting 2- #10 (bushings) from the dealership and taking back those unneeded items (#8). I now have two extra prothane 22mm sway bar bushings.

 

My CTR bar will work for you!!

 

pics doesnt work, but i believe ITR bar has larger endlink holes than CTR's, meaning your si endlink will be too small for the itr holes.

I believe ASR is selling bushings that goes into the endlink hole of ITR's, so the SI's endlinks fit.

 

i just ordered the rear sway bar and all the bushings, bolts and endlinks for an ITR as well...this will fit my Em1 correct? i am using an ASR subframe as well...do i need asr bolts to bolt up the d-brackets into the subframe or will oem honda work?

NO. if your car is EM1 (99-00 Civic SI), then you just re-use your stock endlinks from stock sway bar. ITR endlinks WILL NOT work on your car.

are you sure about this because the Si endlink is way different in terms of mounting on the sway bar than the itr one...
