Default Rear Swaybar question

Just bought a 94 Civic DX hatch and I'm wanting to throw my ST swaybar on it but it seems there aren't threads were the brackets mount to the frame?? My 93 Del Sol has them but not this car. Is there another way to mount it?

Drill.

Be realistic about how you mount it. The mounts experience a lot of force so think about where the force is going and if it's just going to rip them out or not. Adding a D-bracket to a thin subframe doesn't sound like a very good idea to me.

You have to drill the holes (eg check ASR online 'Instructions'). Contrary to EKs only EGs with rear swaybar have the holes drilled.

Mounting a swaybar on the OEM subframe is NP when you stick to <=16mm (= OEM/EG6 sway size). Be sure to use/fabricate some kind of backing plate (standard on EG6).

Personally I would get either the OEM EG6 16mm or an ASR brace/ITR 23mm combo.

Be sure in any case to mount an EG6 sway up front (if diff from your ori).
