Ok I am in a bind, Ive had my itr rear bar just sitting in the garage for about a month because I had no clue if I could use the oem acura endlink bushings
(11 on the pic) on the bar without the metal instert shims(8 on the pic) since they wouldnt fit over the si endlinks or get metal ones from asr. Could someone please help me out?

Now after looking at the picture did I get the wrong shims? Are number 46's what I need?

 

what model ej is it?

 

get shims from ASR. I believe they make one to have ITR's fit on EK's endlinks

 

This is what I did with mine after the #11 rubber bushings ripped out.

I'm using my Si endlinks with the ITR bar. I went to home depot, but any hardware store will do, and got large locking washers with an ID of 7/16 (11mm). I'm sure there is a 10mm ID washers out there somewhere, but what I found actually worked really well. The endlink bolt is 10mm.

The washers had an OD that was equal to the sway bar bushing hole. So I put two of these washers on each side and the locking washers actually locked into each other. I don't have a picture of them though. Sorry.

I found that this worked just after purchasing a CTR sway bar so that it would directly bolt on. I have my ITR sway bar for sale now with said 'bushings' installed.
