Default DA coilovers on a EK

ok so im getting an EK and my DA going to parked for awhile so i would like to swap the suspention cause my funtion form coilover are only 2 months old so i want to use them on the EK,
*if i use the front fork and rear lower control will they bolt right up. im assuming they will but just double checking?
*also can i use sway bars off of my DA or do i have to get them from and EX at the junk yard?
*wat is your sway bars setup?

so from some further research i have to use the DA rear control are because of the EK one being to narrow. and of course i have to use DA forks up front. does a EX civic coupe come with sway bars??

Ex coupe only has a front and the DA rear sway won't work.

If your EK rear LCAs have holes, use 'em. Maybe the like DC2 LCAs will work, or go aftermarket.

I recommend the ITR sway bar, but Blox makes one that looks just like it and ASR sells a brace and bar together and their bar looks pretty slick. And running a thick swaybar on an EK, you definitley should run a brace. Look up subrame tearout...

Sorry, that's the Type R, my bad. Anyway, there should be some Integra or aftermarket LCAs that will be the right width.
