I've had these omni lca's for a long time on my 96 hatch and I decided to put on a subframe brace and rear sway. I finally got around to putting it on and noticed the holes in the lca for the sway bar endlinks are about two inches away from where the bar actually sits.
Anyone else dealt with this. The only options I see are drill two new holes in the lca for the sway bar - which I like best because then I don't have to buy anything, but is it safe??

Or buy new lcas, or I guess an Omni sway bar??
Any ideas about the drilling a hole idea?

 

Did you buy a sway bar with endlinks?

You'll probably need endlinks to span the gap between the LCAs and swaybar. Most swaybars dont actually connect to the LCA.

 

You can see the endlink is just a little off from the hole.

It is ITR I just painted it green to match my front sway

 

you need to get civic si endlinks and swaybar washers/spacers from ASR...

 

^^Thanks for the help, my shop said ASR is on backorder so I'll have to get blox though

 

My sway bar came with everything needed..looks like you have the same one..



edit* I just saw where you said you painted it..

 

But you should be able to get the endlinks from anywhere. If you need to order them from http://www.iapdirect.com I bought mine from them and it included the endlinks, bushings and all h/w.. The website doesn't have everything they carry, you'd be better off calling them tomorrow. I ordered my stuff and went and picked it up the next day.

im not talking about endlinks. im talking about the little spacers that go in the hole of the swaybar. you can even use oem 99-00 Si endlinks if needed.
