Does anybody have a picture of an EM1 sway bar mounted on an em1 or ej8? I have mine mounted on my ej8 but I'm not sure if I have it the correct way. I've been searching but can't find what I'm looking for.

Also I don't know if this belongs in appearance/cosmetic but I apologize if it does. Thanks.

 

 

here's another one... its the si swaybar.
not on the car but it's pictured exactly how it would be mounted.

 

Sorry for offlinking, but I'd say this is the most definitive thread on the subject I've seen:

Good Stuff!

 

UM this is my 99 coupe ex EJ8 [IMG][/IMG]

 

Do any of you guys with a swaybar have problems with the endlinks, or the swaybar that attaches to the endlinks hitting your exhaust?

My WS2 hits my swaybar.... and I cant stand the noise, so I took it off and wont use it.

WOW! i haven't seen a link to JDMcivic in soo long. There isn't much to mounting a stock sway bar, with all of the stock bracketry.

 

heres my 00 coupe

 

How thick in mm is this bar?
And will it fit my '98 LX?

 

and i thought i was the only one with LCA's an ASR, and rear sway bar... damn it

handles awesome though. worth every penny

 

the stock em1 rear sway bar is 13mm thick if i'm not mistaken

 

you googled that didn't you!

 

13mm, and yes it will bolt on. You have the same subframe as any other NON SI civic.
I have one on my DX.

This has been covered a lot, you need to search.

 

According to Honda....

the 99 Si is a 13mm

the 00 Si is a 14mm

 

ahh, That's right. I forgot about that lol

 

No it won't just bolt up unless you are running an aftermarket subframe brace or you use the SI brackets with hardware. The non Si civics have holes but they aren't threaded so you will have to use the SI brackets and some bolts/nuts. See these threads

I have the integra bar on my 96 and I used integra brackets but I had to add some washers to make it work (see first link to see why). But its easier to use the Si brackets and buy some hardware from Lowes or Home Depot.

 

Thanx a lot for the info and the links!
Didn't find so graphic info until now :-)

I'm researching. Just ask about the thickness, because see on the pics that some guys use subframe brace and some not. I guess the guys with the subframe brace probably run 22mm ITR bar...

 

You don't need a brace for a 13/14mm bar, there is no way they are tearing out the subframe, unless the subframe is already ****ed up..

for a 22mm bar on a 96-00 a brace is absolutely required.

All I had to do was buy 4 10mm bolts and 4 lock nuts. Drill out the subframe bracket a small bit. I used OEM bolts every where else.

BUT ASR has backing plates that slide inside the subframe (basically what SI's have) for 12 bucks. Then you simply order 4 of their bolts. (highly recommended due to the length) and bolt them in. No drilling needed.

 

I didn't have to drill anything, just find the closest bolt size. I used Allen key bolts ,locknuts and lock washers from lowes

 

What size bolts did you use? I used regular old 10mm bolts. I wanted to get it as close to the size of the hole in the subframe as possible.

I think it's 11mm, and i was unable to find that size. And I wasn't about to drill into my subframe

 

Hmm...not sure now. It could have been a standard size bolt instead of metric but its been at least a year now so I'm drawing a blank. I used a bolt style like this from Lowes:

 

Ohhh, Did you use a backing plate type thing, or a nut?

 

Used I believe a washer plus a lock washer on the backside. Been holding strong for over a year now, wish I could say better for my eBay endlinks, ha

 

Same here, My endlinks are in need of replacement soon.
Damn blox.
