CTR Rear Sway Bar/Coupe
ok well i installed a ctr rear sway bar on my 2000 ex coupe but the brakets that hold the sway bar to the body dont line up i can only get one bolt to line up and i tightened it and it hold iv been driving for a week like this and everythings ok so what can i do to get the brakets to fit
You should remove the bar promptly. Running a CTR sway bar on your coupe certainly isn't a good idea, especially on stock brackets. There is a greatly increased risk of subframe tearout when running that large of a bar. You need to properly strengthen your subframe via an ASR subframe brace or equivalent.
But if you must use the stock brackets, try the other bracket, it could be upside down or on the wrong side.

well i have big thick metal plates used as washers that came with the energy suspension brackets with the bushings im remove it wen i get time this week if it ripes out ill put the asr in but until then its coming out
If it rips out, you need a new subframe not just an ASR. EKs are notorious with the rear subframe ripping out with rear sway bars bigger than 17mm. There has even been cases where the Beaks reinforcement was not enough to stop the tear out.
I suggest you get some good reinforcement faster than ASAP!

yes take it off, like lastweek. my 97 hatch had front and rear ctr's and the rear was starting to rip out luckly i caught it in time and welded it back and got the ASR brace, never had a problem after that.
